Drought is one of these natural weather phenomena set to accelerate that causes massive losses to agricultural crops, increase land degradation, reduce clean water supplies and thereby inducing malnutrition and starva

International Collaborations between Australia and the United States in Cotton Disease Management: Comparison of isolation methods and media for quantifying Verticillium dahliae populations in soil.

Cotton is now a significant crop in the irrigated Riverina region of southern NSW, Australia, increasing in area from approximately 39,000 ha in 2013 to 90,050 ha in 2018 and contributing from between 10-30% of Austra

Sponsorship funding for the 5th Australian National Soil Judging Competition took place over three days in Toowoomba, Queensland from 26 to 28 September.

Soil is an invaluable finite resource, and there is considerable interest in monitoring the status of soil, as well as the direction and degree of any changes in soil attributes.

Soil compaction is a hidden and continuing constraint to cotton productivity due to increasing size and weight of equipment and is estimated to be in the order of >$30M in lost revenue.

This project, led by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture focused on the use of data and

autonomous technology in helping farmers make informed decisions and improve their

This travel was undertaken to participate in the CRDC one day forum on 'Soil Constraints' held at Moree on the 14th July.

Management practices in current Australian cotton farming systems, e.g.

This sponsorship funded the travel of one CRDC researcher to attend the 18th Australian Cotton Conference in August 2016.

Boron and Potassium have overlapping roles to play in plant physiology and hence are synergistic.

In the Murrumbidgee, with the rapid uptake of cotton production there has been a trend to continuous production systems, with some farmers doing as many as 5 consecutive cotton crops.

Cotton growers in the Dawson Valley currently have no access to localised, correct weather forecasting and status and rely on information relayed from weather stations located at Biloela which is 116 km away.

The impact of legumes after 21 years of rotation (11 legume crops) continue to positively impact soil health. The addition of a legume in a cotton rotation impacts all aspects of the cotton production.

CottonInfo’s cotton nutrition

tour hit the road in February 2016, bringing 10 leading cotton nutrition researchers onto farms

across five cotton growing valleys.

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.

In response to many inquiries about EM38 technology, either from those who came to an industry field day (as part of the Irrigation Technology Tour Feb 2015) or who have spoken with someone else who attended, Departme

The incorporation of crop residues post-harvest can provide an important source of nitrogen (N) for the subsequent crop but can simultaneously lead to elevated nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.

The development of farming machinery and digital technology that is able to generate objective information about the status of the soil, water, crops, pasture and animals is quickly changing the way in which farming b

Over the past 25 years soil carbon sequestration has been assessed in many experiments.
