Until recently there hasn't been a science-based practical set of strategies outlining how biodiversity can best be conserved in production landscapes.

An Australian Cotton Conference special highlighting s just some of the industry research, practice and issues presented at the conference.

Rivers provide essential ecosystem services by carrying water, nutrients and even seeds to regenerate our landscapes. Leave riparian land uncultivated to trap sediments and nutrients and keep the rivers clean.

New ideas and techniques in economics open up the possibility of making significant improvements in environmental policy mechanism.

This project initially set out to advance the industries capacity to manage water quality through the development of constructed wetlands.

It has been accepted for many years that there is an interaction between plants and the microbiological life that exists in soil.

My presentation 'Winning back markets for Australian cotton is an important topic. I have been buying Australian cotton for over 20 years and supplying it to spinning mills in Japan and other countries also.

A more recent survey by CSD (Cotton Seed Distributors Ltd.) in 2007 targeted growers that were achieving 12 bales /ha cotton yields.

Cotton pickers with on-board module builders (OBMB) eliminates the need for boll buggies, module builders, the tractors, and labor needed to operate this machinery.

The Australian Cotton Industry has been actively practising insecticide resistance management for 25 years, with the introduction of the Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy (IRMS) in 1983.

Herbicide resistance is an ever increasing hurdle for sustainable agriculture, not only in Australia but worldwide.

Australian companies have approximately $500 million invested in Ginning Infrastructure in Qld and NSW.

We are now in uncharted waters as to our best way forward; are we just experiencing a dry cycle or is this, the permanent weather pattern for the foreseeable future - "Climate Change"; nobody really knows.

Data from last season was used to test the critical period for weed control approach for irrigated and dryland Roundup Ready Flex cotton crops.

High temperature stress adversely affects the growth, development and ultimately yield of cotton.
