There are significant price and profitability challenges for Australian cotton at present and likely into the future.

Presentation on the Boyce Cotton comparative analysis

Achievable paddock yields now frequently overreach the science and yields upon which our current crop nutrition practices are based.

Presentation on irrigation and soil oxygen

Indonesia has a large spinning capacity of about 7.5 million spindles. About 45-50% of the spindles are on cotton and cotton blends.

In agricultural systems, soil quality is thought of in terms of productive land that can maintain or increases farm profitability, as well as conserving soil resources so that future farming generations can make a liv

Australian irrigated cotton growers are committed to improving their water use efficiency for economic, environmental, social and political reasons.

The Australian Cotton Industry has been lauded as one of the success stories of Australian agriculture, noted for its technical innovation and its ability to recognise the challenges that confront it and establishing

Our work focused on selecting a 'baseline' set of socio-economic indicators that could be used to track the economic and social condition of cotton communities over the life of the CRC and beyond.

Fibre quality is an important consideration for Australian cotton farm profitability and industry credibility in the world marketplace.

Bollgard II and selective insecticides have dramatically increased the opportunity for adopting integrated pest management (IPM) in the Australian cotton system.

Cotton aphid, Aphis. gossypii is a major pest of Australian cotton due to an ability to develop resistance to the carbamate insecticide Pirimor and organophosphates generally.

In the 1996/97 season the Australian industry adopted an insect-resistant variety of cotton (INGARD) that is specific to the group of insects including the target pests Helicoverpa armigera and H.

We determined the efficacy of direct applications of a range of concentrations between 1% and 10% of an nC24 petroleum spray oil (PSO) (Sacoa, Biopest) for use against the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii.

The critical period for weed control is a concept designed to optimise weed management and herbicide use in systems reliant on post emergent herbicides for weed control and is particularly useful in systems into which

A new buzzword has swept dryland cotton growing areas this season. Super Singles is being trialled over around 18,000 ha West of Moree this year. What are Super Singles?

Uptake of phosphorus (P) by cotton crops demonstrated an excellent correlation with lint yield.

Many insect natural enemies are omnivorous, in that they include extra-floral nectar, floral nectar, honeydew and pollen, as well their insect prey in their diet for at least part of their life.
