Good asset management practices can significantly increase the life of an irrigation channel and reduce its life cycle costs.

The Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre in association with the Cotton Research and Development Cooperation have funded a number of soil inventory projects which have produced enormous amount of soil data.

The Bourke region has experienced a dramatic expansion of irrigated agriculture, especially cotton production, over the last decade.

In Australia, premature senescence (PS) is occurring with increasing frequency in cotton crops.

Many Australian cotton growers sow rotation crops after irrigated cotton assuming that they will improve soil quality, reduce pest and disease incidence, and maintain profitability of cotton.

Dryland salinity is on the increase in the upper catchments of the central and northern river valleys of New South Wales (Murray Darling Basin Ministerial Council- MDBC, 1999).

While the cotton industry relies on large inputs of Nitrogen fertilizer, most growers are confident that their management of this input is satisfactory.

Electromagnetic (EM) surveys in combination with computer models, like Sodium-SaLF, and chloride mass balance models have been used to estimate deep drainage under irrigated soils with high clay content (Wills and Bla

Satellites, airborne imaging systems and hand held instruments are frequently proposed as indicators of crop stress caused by water, soil compaction, lack of nutrients, diseases and mites.

The aims of this scientific exchange, were for Dr Stephen Cattle to travel to, Texas A&M University and work with Dr Richard Drees to: (1) thoroughly analyse the collection of thin sections for a range of soil str

Phosphorus (P) fertiliser usage in the cotton industry has increased six-fold in the period between 1981 and 2000.

In Australia, premature senescence (PS) is occurring with increasing frequency in cotton crops on soils with high levels of available K.

What are the potential Benefits Growers are Looking for when planting Cotton into Wheat StubbleΓ Since the introduction of effective knock-down herbicides, farmers all over the world have tried to use zero-tillage pra
