The summer edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, continues the focus on sustainability, in line with the industry's current work to set new sustainability targets. Of significance is CRDC’s commitment to RD&E to improve fish health in our rivers, and a ground-breaking program with CRDC, Cotton Australia, Landcare and clothing brand Country Road to improve the health of river red gums and riparian zones in the Namoi Valley.

Also in this edition, we look at a new sampling and spray-decision support system for silverleaf whitefly; we investigate a new disease, reoccurring wilt, that has been found in cotton fields; and we include a snapshot of CRDC’s 2019-20 Annual Report, which outlines our key investments and impacts during the year.
