Travel : The Cotton Catchment Communities-CRC (CCC CRC) Science forum provided a great opportunity for me to meet other scientist involved in cotton disease research and to create collaboration much needed for my futu

Report from Conference Delegate, Dr Karen Kirby, Cotton Pathologist, NSW DPI. This scientific exchange provided the opportunity for me to travel to the Beltwide Cotton Conference in Orlando, Florida in January 2012.

The broader focus of the projectis to look at mechanisms whereby the sustainability of Australian cotton can be determined and promoted through the textile supply chain.

This project aimed to develop farming systems and extension materials and processes that support growers in producing high yielding / high fibre quality cotton more consistently, profitably and sustainably.

IrriSAT is a weather based irrigation water management and benchmarking service

that uses satellite imagery to better determine site specific crop coefficients that are

The irrigation industry is facing substantial change that is likely to affect the quantity and

timing of water supply, as well as the infrastructure involved in water delivery and use.

The Sicala 340BRF fibre grown commercially over the last three seasons generally produced a fibre with variable quality.

The aim of this study was to conduct processing trials at the CMSE Cotton Mill, with a bale of the current Australian Long Staple Upland variety (Sicala 340BRF) with fibre properties that fall into stipulated specific

Australian cotton is purchased for a premium as it meets spinner’s requirements on the basis of quality and consistency.

Darlington Point in 1964 and the CSIRO conducted a cotton breeding program for many years at Griffith. Cotton was the first row crop grown on Ravensworth Station at Hay and Kooba Station at Darlington Point.

CRDC's Annual Operating Plan for 2012-13 (AOP): the fifth (and final) annual operating plan under the CRDC's Strategic R&D Plan 2008-2013.

Over the last decade, grape growers in SE South Australia have had their water entitlements converted to volumetric allocations, experienced a reduction in annual rainfall and seen a rise in the salinity of groundwate

Mobile devices are everywhere. Smart phones are more than just something to make calls with, and tablets have revolutionised the way that we work and play.

Soil organic carbon storage in four irrigated cotton cropping systems sown on permanent beds in a cracking clay with subsoil sodicity was determined over a 9-year period in a trial near Narrabri, NSW.

irrigated systems using solid, single-skip and double skip configurations to a fully irrigated solid crop Irrigations were scheduled using NAWF with the aim to keep the crop in the partially irrigated system flowering

To promote Australian Long Staple Cotton (ALS) large-scale spinning trials were carried out in China in late 2010 using Sicala 340BRF. Six major mills in China participated in the trials.

This season's results show the potential for damage to cotton crops from resdues of Hussar, Intervix, Spinnaker and Lontrel, with reductions in plant stand, seedling vigour, crop development and yield recorded.

During the last 5 years we have been researching the feasibility of cotton production in the Burdekin region of north Queensland.

The aim of this new 3 year project is to map the Australian cotton industry and to catalogue the extent of cotton research
