The Improving energy efficiency on irrigated Australian cotton farms project has developed resources for cotton growers to reduce their energy consumption, updated the cotton industry's myBMP energy module, deliv

Current nutrient management strategies are based primarily on the concept of cost effective nutrient management (i.e.

To maximise improvements in work health and safety, it is vital to have the best available evidence available to understand the risks that exist.

This project built on many years of weeds work supported by CRDC and value added to earlier research, while providing strategic information to growers in support of MyBMP, based around updating WEEDpak.

In 2008 the Cotton CRC invested in an Education Officer, Trudy Staines, for 5 years to promote science and agriculture in schools.

Financial performance benchmarking studies have identified increasing fertiliser input costs in the cotton industry.

This proposal builds on many years of weeds work supported by CRDC and aims to value add to the earlier work, while providing strategic information to cotton growers in support of MyBMP, based around updating WEEDpak,

The drought from 2006/07 through 2008/09 seriously impacted the Australian ginning sector. A large number of experienced people left the industry due to the short seasons and having only a handful of gins operating.

Seedbed Media was appointed to provide communications support for CottonInfo’s Carbon Farming extension and outreach project.

Cotton growers spend thousands of dollars annually monitoring insect pests and beneficials. The information generated from monitoring is used to make pest control decisions.

The cotton industry relies on GM cotton expressing insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). This provides resistance to key pests of cotton, the bollworm Helicoverpa armigera and the native budworm H.

The 40 year anniversary of the construction of the Fairbairn Dam and Emerald Irrigation Scheme prompted the

FUSCOM has always been an excellent means to encourage collaboration between research groups within Australia and communicate research activities to various groups.

The Australian Rural Leadership Foundation was established in 1992 based on the premise that developing leaders in rural, regional and remote Australia could influence change across organisations, industries as a whol

CottonMap is currently an ongoing annual investment.

The aim of this research was to measure by laboratory incubation trial, fertiliser and soil mineral nitrogen supply under variable wet and dry soil conditions. The experimental design will include:

The Southern Valleys CGA had seen other valleys participate in Back Paddock nutrition workshops and identified this as a need in our region.

Consultation with growers about their key areas of interest identified the need for highly localised information about managing nutrition and how the plant reacts under different temperature situations to assist with

The Southern Valleys CGA Back Paddock Nutrition Workshop tour was conducted in the region in February 2015.
