This year marks the tenth for these industry awards which recognise excellence and high achievement in Australia’s cotton industry throughout the supply chain, from growers and ginners to product suppliers, consultants, agronomists and researchers.

High seed cotton moisture levels can reduce the ‘ginability’ of seed cotton , are directly linked to lower colour grades and can cost growers hundreds of dollars per hectare in discounts. excessive drying causes fibre damage and high seed cotton moisture is often associated with high trash content. in general the cotton ginners association considers seed cotton moisture levels between six percent and 10 percent as ideal,

With more than 90 percent of Australian Cotton grown using Bt technology, effective resistance management is vital to the longevity of Bollgard II and the yet to be released Bollgard III.

Getting rid of the crop post‐harvest can be difficult and resource intensive, however it really is the first step in terms of best practice for your future cotton crops.

Monitoring of soil and plant nutrient status is a fundamental requirement in managing soil fertility and meeting the nutritional demands of the crop. Soil; Analysis, Petiole analysis, Leaf analysis Interpretation

Prevention is better than cure! - It is better to prevent the introduction of a disease, weed or pestthan to try and control it after it has been introduced and become widespread. A number of disease and weed problems are currently limited to particular regions or farms within regions.

Leaf analysis provides information about the nutritional status of a crop and can be used to identify nutrient imbalances, deficiencies and toxicities.Sampling,Timing,Handling and packing,Lab selection Interpretation

For better management decisions, it is important to know about mirid biology, particularly their life cycle, and toidentify the mirids correctly so that the right assessment can be made before spraying. this shows pictorially the differences between species
