The Cotton Australia Grower RD&E Advisory Panels provide a critical role within the cotton industry by providing practical advice on research, development and extension needs and priorities.

The impact of legumes after 21 years of rotation (11 legume crops) continue to positively impact soil health. The addition of a legume in a cotton rotation impacts all aspects of the cotton production.

This project is to facilitate grower participation in CA Grower panels to provide research development and extension investment advice.The Cotton Australia grower RD&E Advisory Panels function in providing practic

Currently our district relies on weather data from St.

Two workshops were organised by The Cotton Info Team to address a number of grower requests for human resource information and managing staff.

This travel enabled one CRDC representative to attend the CRDC Resilience Workshop, held in Sydney in September, 2017.

Cotton growers in the Dawson Valley currently have no access to localised, correct weather forecasting and status and rely on information relayed from weather stations located at Biloela which is 116 km away.

The GrassRoots Program allows cotton valley regions to investigate community grower projects.

Agriculture is facing current productivity challenges in terms of managing pests and diseases, which will significantly increase within the next decade.

In the last few years Australia's renewable energy sector has gone from niche to mainstream, resulting in cost reduction and a reduced need for government.

Twice annually, the full CottonInfo team contingent meet to plan activities and receive professional development. The Cotton Info team meeting has three key objectives:

This project will provide the cotton industry with a champion for Rivercare aiming to communicate to cotton growers and the general public, through the establishment of a long-term riparian condition monitoring site o

The primary aim of this project is to determine whether inexpensive Drones (UAVs) can be used to detect and define early stage VW in cotton.

This project funding supported a review of the research and development investments within its Responsible Landscape Management Theme bringing together a group of CRDC investment researchers, growers and industry.

Declining water quality and quantity is a threat to the production of food and fibre worldwide.

The project titled 'Skills Profile and Labour Supply Structures on Cotton Farms' was funded by the CRDC and covered the period from March 2015 to August 2018.

The cotton industry has a reputation of being forward thinking, generous with knowledge, encouraging and inclusive.

The Resistance Management Plan (RMP) for Australian Bt cotton aims to minimise the development of resistant Helicoverpa moths.

Cotton Mealybugs have moved south from Central Queensland with confirmed sightings on the Darling Downs and in the Macintyre Valley in January and February 2017.

The grassroots funding objective for this project was to support growers in identifying pathways to incorporate summer crops as a means of improving farming system efficiencies.
