Cotton growers are facing increasing pressure to manage resources more cost effectively and to be more accountable for the impact their decisions have on the surrounding environment.

The UQ35c twelve-month project continued on from the UQ32c research covering the Helicoverpa armigera microsatellite survey of field collections over twelve of the major cotton growing regions during the 2003-2004 sea

Electrical resistivity imaging has been validated as a technique that can show the two dimensional movement of water through the soil profile after the application of irrigation water.

This document highlights the performance of Bollgard cotton in the Australian Industry during the 2004-05 season.

The focus of this position is the promotion and adoption of new technologies and best management practices to ensure the industry’s sustainability and continued development.

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

Since the inaugural Field to Fabric course in August 2005 the course has been

presented 3 times in 2006 and twice in 2007. Feedback from participants has been

Managing sustainable cotton production is becoming more difficult with the ever-increasing demand on limited resources.

The Australian Cotton Integrated Pest Management grower short course was

conceptualised and developed from a recommendation presented in a commission

Several issues developing around Bt crops [chickpea, pigeonpea, sorghum] at ICRISAT. Considerable difficulties with achieving high expression and lack of clear understanding of deployment or management needs.

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

"Evaluation of yield component changes in Australian cotton cultivars":The aim of this summer scholarship project was to measure the changes that have occurred in the yield components of Australian cotton cu

Deep Drainage and NRM Summer Scholarship Report

The course covered an introduction to IP, what types of IP existed(copywright, PBR, patents) and what is involved in securing IP (costs and duration). Several cases were presented to the participants as examples.

This project has part funded field operation costs charged by DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri.

Cotton growers are facing increasing pressure to manage resources more cost effectively and to be more accountable for the impact their decisions have on the surrounding environment.

The effects of rotation crops and stubble management (including the residual effects of past rotation crops) on soil quality, carbon sequestration, deep drainage, nutrient leaching, yield and profitability of succeedi

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

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.

Ultra-narrow row (UNR) cotton, a production system with rows spaced less than 40cm apart, has been proposed as the ideal system for earlier maturity without substantial yield loss.
