Biological “Soil health” is a highly complex issue. In broad terms, biologically active soils are

robust and resilient to change. Microbes produce complex arrays of metabolites, each species

This project validated and enhanced the use of the BDI as a measure of the relative disruption

(‘softness’/’hardness’) of the insecticide regimes applied to cotton fields. The project focused on two

An efficient and world standard computing system at ACRI has benefited all research programs through their use in data processing, storage, statistical analysis, modelling and the development of end-user packages.

This booklet summarises the current capacity to report on land salinity indicators pertaining to the land salinity "matter for target" agreed under the National Natural Resource Management Monitoring and Eva

Over the past 10 years the rapid uptake of IPM and transgenic cotton has allowed a dramatic reduction in the use of insecticides in cotton.

Salinisation as a consequence of irrigation can occur as a result of the application of poor quality (i.e. saline) water or mobilisation of salts from rising water tables (i.e.

Growers whose water supply is critically low and are experimenting with novel ways to grow cotton with this limited water.

ACSA requested that a breeder attend a meeting between ACSA and Indonesian spinners to explain the history of FiberMax cotton and how Australian cotton fibre is at least as good as FiberMax.

A one-year scoping study determined and prioritised the important weed issues of cropping systems with dryland cotton (DAQ117C).

The objective of the mission was to promote Australian cotton as being ‘clean and green’ following the BMP and EMS marketing initiatives amongst Indonesian traders and spinners.

On the land and in country towns, the battle to survive goes on forever. Increasingly, the world needs food and fibre, but squeezes out the communities which provide them.

The rivers, floodplains, wetlands and estuaries of northern Australia are key resources.
