Management practices in current Australian cotton farming systems, e.g.

For sustainable cotton production, Australian cotton farming systems need to promote and optimize soil biological functions to by improving nutrient use efficiency, increasing biological nitrogen inputs, reducing dise

During work conducted between 2003 and 2006 on the potential for genetically modified cotton to affect soil microbiota it became apparent that variety type can influence microbiology associated with the rhizosphere.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the soil biology and what we know about its role within the cotton production system.
