Productive cotton farms need to be connected with roads and rail to gins and ports. Similarly, a productive natural workforce needs to be connected to the native vegetation to access all the resources it requires. Consider talking to your neighbours about linking native vegetation between properties.

Groundwater is the term referring to water that occurs under the ground.Groundwater is a vast and slow moving resource that greatly exceeds the volume of other available freshwater sources. The study of groundwater is known as hydrogeology.

The NutriLOGIC program has recently undergone a major revision; it is now more userfriendly, provides information and analytical support for all major nutrients, provides interpretation of soil, petiole and leaf analyses and is relevant for cotton crops at all yield levels.

The potential impact of to cotton in Australia has not been established however it is currently thought that TSV is unlikely to cause significant disease or losses in CQ. Disease riskmost likely increases with proximity to significant parthenium weed populations.

Good natural resource management does not have to involve a great deal of extra work and time it should be incorporated into the overall management of the property. This is the philosophy of Richard and Julie Dowse. who manage Wyobie, a 2776 ha dryland cropping property located on the Jimbour floodplain about 40 kms north of Dalby.

Heliothis (Helicoverpa sp.) pupae that overwinter in the soil have a high risk of carrying insecticide resistance into the next season. Pupae busting, as soon as possible after picking, and no later than the end of August, is an important part of resistance management.pspxeo

The Cotton CRC Project "Measurement to improve the water efficiency of on-farm storages inthe cotton industry" has been providing assessments of seepage and evaporation from waterstorages across the industry. These assessments have been conducted by consultants using theIrrimate Seepage and Evaporation Service.Analysis of the first 70 evaluations has been completed by the National Centre for Engineering inAgriculture and the results are included here. It must be noted that these results are preliminaryand that approximately 70 further evaluations will be completed over the life of the project,thus the range of results may change over this time.
