Instrument fibre tests indicate that there is no difference between the fibre from transgenic Bt cotton and non transgenic. However there is assumed concern from the spinning and textile sector.

Growers with cotton in their rotations achieve higher returns over the rotation cycle, compared with growers with solely grainbased rotations.

This Guide provides you with a comprehensive summary of the key cotton crop protection issues, and is brought to you by the Australian cotton industry's joint extension program, CottonInfo.

Small palaeochannels located in irrigated cotton fields have been identified as areas of potential high deep drainage (Triantafilis et al. 2003).

Water availability will be a key consideration for some (if not all!) growers during the coming season. So in this edition, we take a look at management options for growers with a limited water supply.

Cotton CRC Gomeroi Skills project summary

Auscott's Midkin property at Moree has a long history of environmental and riparian management. It's been 14 years since work on the regeneration of riparian areas was initiated at Midkin back in 2001.

Controlling unwanted cotton in the farming system is an essential part of good integrated pest and disease management.

Managing riparian vegetation for multiple benefits

In August 2014, St George cotton growers took part in their first 'Spring Clean' event, turning the difficult business of disease management into a fun, social day; uniting the community behind the common go

South East Queensland farmer Engelbert Krampl first encountered glyphosate resistant barnyard grass in his cropping system in the summer of 2008-09.

CRDC's Annual Operational Plan for 2015-16 (AOP): the third annual operational plan under the CRDC's Strategic R&D Plan 2013-18.

The End of Season Resistance Monitoring Report, by Sharon Downes, and the Conventional Insecticide Testing Report, by Lisa Bird provide a summary of the outcomes of both programs during this season.

Resistance to insecticides has repeatedly developed in Helicoverpa armigera around the world and is of major concern to the cotton industry in Australia.

Helicoverpa punctigera, along with Helicoverpa armigera, are major pests in Australian cotton.

In 2008 the Cotton CRC invested in an Education Officer for 5 years to promote science and agriculture in schools.

This project aim was to achieve a more resilient and competitive cotton farming system through increasing the understanding and awareness of the benefits and disadvantages which may be associated with different row co
