In June 2014, irrigation researchers met in Narrabri for IrriCOMM. This workshop arose from discussion

between CSIRO, CRDC and NSW DPI about irrigation research. The tools that irrigators are using to

The Southern Valleys CGA Back Paddock Nutrition Workshop tour was conducted in the region in February 2015.

The aim of this research was to measure by laboratory incubation trial, fertiliser and soil mineral nitrogen supply under variable wet and dry soil conditions. The experimental design will include:

The Darling Downs Cotton Growers Incorporated(DDCGI), as well a individual growers established a series of 21 weather stations across the region over the period 1996-1998.

Financial performance benchmarking studies have identified increasing fertiliser input costs in the cotton industry.

Development and demonstration of a practical and commercially viable ‘smart’ automation system for furrow irrigation was the aim and key outcome of this project. The system consists of three major component parts.

Consultation with growers about their key areas of interest identified the need for highly localised information about managing nutrition and how the plant reacts under different temperature situations to assist with

This proposal builds on many years of weeds work supported by CRDC and aims to value add to the earlier work, while providing strategic information to cotton growers in support of MyBMP, based around updating WEEDpak,

This project examined the costs and benefits of defoliation strategies used in the defoliation of high input irrigated cotton crops.

CottonMap is currently an ongoing annual investment.

Technological innovations in the cotton industry are advancing mechanisation and seeking to create improved efficiencies of labour and energy inputs.
