The 'Know The Flow' project was initiated in 1997 to address issues relating to the accurate measurement of the delivery of irrigation water to farms.

This position paper summarises research and investigations to develop a strategy for the effective use of the internet in the Australian irrigation industry.

Irrigated dairying is a major farming activity in the Murray Valley Irrigation Area (MVIA), in north-east Victoria, contributing greatly to this State's economy.

As part of this project preliminary standards for AFIE were established, based on engineeringprinciples and the field experience of farmers and extension officers.

In recognising the apparent move by some States toward new investment in irrigation infrastructure, the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRDC) commissioned the Australian Centre for Tro

MEDLI® is a Windows® based computer model for designing and analysing effluent disposal systems for intensive rural industries, agri-industrial processors (e.g.

In the 2001/02 season Australian cotton growers achieved what is believed to be a world record. They harvested more cotton per hectare than any other major cotton producing nation.

Cotton Bunchy Top (CBT) characteristics and modes of transmission

In the past three years two biological control agents, new to Australia, have been discovered attacking cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii.

Stinkbugs have recently re-emerged as an important late season sucking pest complex of cotton in Australia.

Irrigation in the Australian cotton industry has traditionally been dominated by the use of furrow irrigation practiced almost exclusively on the heavy clay soils associated with riverine flood plains.

This paper is based on my views and experiences from the four Area Wide IP M Groups in the Macintyre Valley. These groups cover the majority of the irrigated cotton from Yetman to just east of Boomi.

Many of Australia's broadacre crops have or will have herbicide tolerance traits added in the future.

Cotton planted into cereal stubble has numerous benefits over conventional planting methods, such as reducing soil erosion, reducing pesticide and nutrient movement, and improving soil condition (Waters and Sequeira 2

The adoption of biopesticides by the cotton industry in Australia has been impressive.

Many Australian cotton growers sow rotation crops after irrigated cotton assuming that they will improve soil quality, reduce pest and disease incidence, and maintain profitability of cotton.

When David Swallow rang and asked if l would present this paper my first thoughts were &quote;Why would you pick on me?&quote; I'm 54 years old, nearly as old as my farm.

In the last 5 years there has been a dramatic and exciting shift in pest management approaches in Australian cotton, away from reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides as the main line of defence against pests, toward
