Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in cotton emphasises conservation of beneficial species (mainly insects and spiders) to suppress pest populations and reduce the need to apply insecticides.

The phosphorus dynamics of dryland cotton production require further elucidation, particularly the role of residual fertiliser P and mycorrhizal infection in yield.

Dryland growers are looking to adjust planting dates to better utilise planting opportunities and available soil moisture and minimise the negative impacts of peak flowering during extreme heat events.

Carried out as a summer scholarship between December 2012 and March 2013, the researcher sought to outline the potential contribution of corn in rotation with cotton, in comparison to historical cotton and wheat rotat

Fusarium wilt of cotton caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp vasinfectum remains an economic constraint to cotton production.
