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.

Ultra-High Pressure Water Jet technology has a number of industrial applications in product manufacturing.

Cotton has been looked to be a commercial crop in the Northern Territory on several occasions over the last 100 years, firstly as a wet season crop and more recently (in the last 25 years) as a dry season (winter) cro

Australia’s primary industries share common risks relating to declining community trust.

This two-year trial aimed to explore soft management options for whitefly management in the southern valleys.

This travel scholarship funded the attendance of one researcher to participate and present at the 2018 FUSCOM Conference.

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

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

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 Data for the sector is often incomplete, out of date, and irrelevant or purposeless.

This project funding supported two workshops held in the Upper Namoi area; one in Spring Ridge, and one in Boggabri.

Newer export destinations for Australian cotton have demanded larger volumes of traditionally ‘lower’ grade, i.e., shorter staple Middling and Strict Middling types for bulk knit fabrics that like higher grades are st

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

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.

The incidence of chemical spray applications hitting non-target areas including crops in broadacre agriculture continues to be too-regular issue for agricultural producers.

Since the first detection in the Dawson/Callide region of Central Queensland in 2012, reniform nematode has become a serious concern for cotton growers and researchers as well.

Insecticide resistance results in reduced product efficacy and represents a major cost to agricultural production in terms of economic, environmental and social consequences.
