Water is the most limiting input in irrigated cotton production. Compaction reduces access to the soil water resource and reduces soil health.

This project supported the training and development of auditors for myBMP, the refinement of the myBMP auditing framework, and rationalisation and clarification of practices to be audited.

The drought from 2006/07 through 2008/09 seriously impacted the Australian ginning sector. A large number of experienced people left the industry due to the short seasons and having only a handful of gins operating.

The Menindee and Lower Darling Cotton Growing Association (MLD CGA) is one of a number of CGA organisation's formed throughout cotton growing areas in Australia by local growers and sponsored by Cotton Australia

AN ENERGY expenditure that had been climbing by around 10 per cent per year coupled with concerns about climate change have prompted St George cotton irrigators Ian and Anne Brimblecombe, 'Burgorah', to inst

Factsheet on sources of information for raingrown cottongrowers

With growers now making decisions about how much nitrogen to apply and when, it's worthwhile considering the findings of the CottonInfo N trials: lower upfront N application may help improve NFUE.

Riparian land is usually the most fertile and productive part of the landscape: providing benefits to both agriculture and the natural environment.

Alternative and renewable energy sources, including solar for powering cotton production, were hot topics at this week’s (24 and 25 February) CottonInfo Big Days Out at St George, QLD and Gunnedah, NSW.

This benchmarking report presents direct energy data (diesel and electricity use) collected on irrigated Australian cotton farms.

Energy is one of the fastest growing on-farm costs (electricity costs alone have increased by around 350 percent since 2000).

The winter edition of CRDC's new-look magazine, Spotlight, looks at how an integrated approach to farming provides benefits at both a farm and industry level

The 2015 Australian Cotton Production Manual is a critical reference tool for cotton growers: a one-stop-shop of on-farm cotton production information.

Irrigated cotton growers stand to make substantial savings in fuel and greenhouse gas emissions in tractor operations if appropriate tractor engine and ground speeds are used and tillage depth is kept to the shallowes

AN ENERGY efficiency audit of the new overhead irrigation system on Adam McVeigh's Darling Downs farm in southern Queensland has set him on the path to reducing emissions and making big savings in energy costs.

A comprehensive testing program of conventional large mixed flow pumps typically used on cotton irrigation farms has found that these pumps, if correctly tuned, can operate at high efficiency levels with reduced energ
