Precision agriculture (PA) as a crop management philosophy was first hypothesised in the early 1990's as a way of utilising the development of technology such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and variabl

The 1997-98 season saw the re-investigation of ultra-narrow row cotton ("UNR" cotton) as an alternative production system.

Precision agriculture (PA) research for cotton in Australia began in 1997 and has followed a clear path aimed at discovering key information for the Industry.

Dryland cotton production is an important component of cropping systems in the northern grain belt.

Degree days are commonly used by industry and researchers to estimate expected crop development. This assumes that cotton's potential development is largely a function of temperature.
