The Macquarie valley is closely monitoring the smart farm and ‘automation” space, there are currently two providers in the valley who are offering new technology that the Macquaire Cotton Grower Association (MCGA) wou

The AgTech Finder is a direct response to challenges facing the industry relating to barriers to new technology adoption - namely, the ability for agribusinesses to know what is available and understand the essential

Cotton fibre is the most important natural textile fibre, but it requires intensive scouring to disrupt the hydrophobic cuticle to allow dye to penetrate.

This travel scholarship funded the 10th Australasian Soilborne Disease Symposium.

In this project, a novel treatment was investigated to improve whiteness, brightness, softness and dye uptake of cotton yarn and fabric.

For many in the agriculture industry around the world, an issue of significant concern is the sourcing of staff with the required skill set to assist in managing the operation of their farm businesses.

This travel scholarship funding enabled one australian researcher to attend and present posters at two international conferences, the International Mycological Congress 11 (IMC 11) and the International Congress of Pl

Differential cotton products are highly demanded by customers to provide them with protection, while maintaining comfort during the service of the products.

The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development Corporations, and is focused on three main aims:

• Facilitating the development of digital technology in Australian agriculture.

Growers in the Walgett Cotton Growers Association(CGA) have shown ongoing interest in ensuring that they are at the forefront of new technologies and ideas.

The Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) Strategic Plan 2018-2023 Goal 3 calls for building the adaptive capacity of the Australian cotton industry to enable the industry to achieve its future vision.

The purpose of this travel scholarship was to enable tone researcher to participate in and present results of Australian whitefly research at the 3rd International Whitefly Symposium in 2018, held in Perth.

In 2017, the National Farmers’ Federation announced a vision for Australian agriculture to

exceed a farm gate value of $100 billion by 2030. AgriFutures Australia commissioned ACIL Allen to:

Irrigation is a key component of cotton production in Australian agriculture, where increasing pressures of water scarcity requires growers to improve their water use efficiency.

A key challenge for the Australian cotton industry is to ensure that its’ reputation for high quality is maintained and year to year variation in yield is minimised.

The Australian agricultural statistics system is in a process of evolution, but as yet is still in a far from ideal state. Data for the sector is often incomplete, out of date, and irrelevant or purposeless.

Agri- intelligence targets the increasing complexity of farming enterprise operations arising from increasing availability of data, connectedness of decisions, and seeking to optimise operations more tightly, and at f

The introduction of insecticidal transgenic varieties into the Australian cotton market in the mid-1990’s allowed the industry to substantially reduce its pesticide use but resistance continues to threaten its efficac

Man-made fibres were initially manufactured to imitate natural fibres for textile applications.
