Water remains a key issue for the cotton industry, with improving water use

Climatic factors such as vapor pressure (the capacity of the air to hold water at a given temperature, which is used to calculate relative humidity) influence crop growth, including how much moisture from the plant is

WATERpak provides technical information and practical advice to help irrigators improve irrigation practices, minimise environmental impacts and increase farm profits from irrigated cotton crops.

The way the cotton plant responds to water stress on different soil types changes will influence its requirement for water and may change the irrigation strategy used if yield potential is to be achieved.

Improved understanding of cotton plant response to water stress.

Experiments to establish the response of cotton plant to soil water stress under different soil types,
