CottonInfo’s cotton nutrition

tour hit the road in February 2016, bringing 10 leading cotton nutrition researchers onto farms

across five cotton growing valleys.

The cotton plant derived a large proportion of N nutrition from the soil organic pool (up to 70%) which is composed of N sourced from previous fertiliser application and the soil N pool that has built up over the mill

The cotton sector is a leader in farm WHS because growers have used evidence-based information to develop practical and effective systems to manage WHS.

CRDC recognises that people are the cotton industry’s greatest resource. We continue to invest

in the capacity and capability of people through many programs, designed to build a skilled,

For sustainable cotton production, Australian cotton farming systems need to promote and optimize soil biological functions to by improving nutrient use efficiency, increasing biological nitrogen inputs, reducing dise

This research project acts as a pilot study and involved four trials in the Riverina region of New South Wales comparing establishment, growth rates, plant maturity and yield between cotton crops grown under plastic a

The colour of cotton fibre is affected by plant genetics, environmental factors, harvest and processing conditions.

In recent years, the high level of activity required on-farm for cotton growers has resulted in a lack of time to network, both within the Dawson Valley and with growers and contacts outside the Valley.

The glass transition temperature (Tg) is the thermal transition at which point a polymer goes from a firm glassy state to a more pliable form.

The aim of this research was to improve nitrogen use in irrigated cotton by looking at how farmers around the world are improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE), and to identify what management tools and practices farm

Over the last 22 years the Australian cotton industry, through the CRDC and Cotton CRC, have actively invested in the dissemination of research information to growers and the broader community.

The objective of this project was to further investigate the relationship between cotton cellulose’s crystalline structure and the fibre’s tensile properties, as affected by chemical, genetic and/or environmental effe

In response to many inquiries about EM38 technology, either from those who came to an industry field day (as part of the Irrigation Technology Tour Feb 2015) or who have spoken with someone else who attended, Departme

Leaf traits of five riparian tree species common to cotton farms of the Northern Murray-Darling Basin were investigated to determine inter- and intraspecific variation.

A warmer and drier climate has been projected in Australia especially for the inner part of Australia (CSIRO, 2007) which covers the cotton production regions.

Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) presents a major biosecurity threat to the Australian industry. The exotic Cotton blue disease (CBD) is also of concern.

The purpose of the funding was to co-fund a workshop entitled: Harnessing rhizosphere-soil-microbial interactions for increasing farm productivity and resilience of farming systems.

An efficient plant biosecurity system is vital for protecting Australia’s $31.8 billion plant production industries and our unique environment from exotic plant pest threats.

Middle East – Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) or B-biotype, commonly referred to as silverleaf whitefly (SLW) is an introduced pest of Australian agriculture, particularly cotton and horticulture.

This project sought to verify whether the Mein-Larson variant of the Green-Ampt infiltration equation could work for time-varying application rates using real-world moving sprinkler systems.
