Postdoc: Rose Roche – Physiological Basis for Cotton Yields - Plant Configuration

Roche, Rose (University Of Queensland, )

Narrow row cotton (rows spaced less than 40cm apart) has long been seen as a potential alternative system for Australian cotton, especially in regions with shorter growing seasons.

Irrigated cotton farming systems for Central Queensland

Sequeira, Richard (Cotton Catchment Communities CRC, )

Central Queensland (CQ) has had a long history of cotton production, with a modern industry spanning over 30 years. The hot tropical climate of CQ presents both constraints and opportunities for cotton production.
