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

In June 2014, irrigation researchers met in Narrabri for IrriCOMM. This workshop arose from discussion

between CSIRO, CRDC and NSW DPI about irrigation research. The tools that irrigators are using to

This research PhD study is required to intensively study molecular genetic techniques to better understand and then detect neonicotinoid resistance in cotton aphid.Since the introduction of Bt-cotton, secondary pests

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.

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.

The cotton industry has adopted a very intensive and multiform approach to human capital formation across the industry over many years.

The Menindee and Lower Darling Cotton Growing Association (MLD CGA) is one of a number of CGA organisation's formed throughout cotton growing areas in Australia by local growers and sponsored by Cotton Australia

Cotton growers and consultants are becoming concerned with the level of compaction in soils in the Gwydir.

The overall aim of this project is to improve the ability of refuges to counter both the threat of resistance developing via genetic mutation, and the potential threat of crop failure via inducible tolerance.

Ecosystem services are the benefits that humans get from the environment. Many ecosystem services are relevant to cotton production (e.g.

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

Water is the most limiting input in irrigated cotton production. Compaction reduces access to the soil water resource and reduces soil health.

This project supported the training and development of auditors for myBMP, the refinement of the myBMP auditing framework, and rationalisation and clarification of practices to be audited.

This project is part of the Wincott Development program for women in cotton.

The pest status of A.

The Cotton Field Awareness map is an industry initiative which has been designed to highlight the location of cotton fields, was first intitiated by the sponsors in 2012/13.

Black root rot, caused by the pathogen Theilaviopsis basicola is an important disease in Australian cotton.

Plant Health Australia (PHA) has reviewed and updated the Biosecurity Plan for the Cotton Industry.The cotton industry remains under constant threat from exotic and endemic pests, diseases and weeds.

Resistance to insecticides has repeatedly developed in Helicoverpa armigera around the world and is of major concern to the cotton industry in Australia.

Helicoverpa punctigera, along with Helicoverpa armigera, are major pests in Australian cotton.
