The issue being addressed? With yields now approaching cotton's known physiological limit, the focus is on how to sustain productivity growth through crop management.

Cotton continues to be a tricky plant to get a consistent understanding on its responses to phosphorus and potassium fertilisers.

We have shown that target site insensitivity in Australian Aphis gossypii via the R81T mutation is not the causal mechanism of neonicotinoid resistance despite overseas studies implicating such.

Research suggests that farmers' economic behaviour and productivity is predicted by their personality traits (Austin, Deary, & Willock, 2001; Willock et al., 1999).

The project will investigate the impact of land management practices (tillage, stubble management, crop rotation) on carbon losses through terrestrial pathways such as runoff, erosion, and leaching.
