Hydrochemical and isotopic results reveal that there are distinct differences in the groundwater chemistry with depth throughout the Lower Namoi Alluvium (LNA).

Irrigation currently uses 70% of all the world's freshwater withdrawals.

The project seeks to further contribute to two of the broad objectives of the Darling Downs

This study examines the effectiveness of publicly-available data to identify farm-scale regions of similarity, and classifies the distribution of physical (available water capacity (AWC)) and chemical (pH and electric

The following impact assessment addresses investment by CRDC in a cluster six sustainability projects.

The key impact of this project for the Australian cotton industry was via the provision many of the essential knowledge foundations that assisted the rapid transition from a feasibility assessment with commercial part

Improving water security can be viewed in terms of five key principles: supply, practice, compliance, markets and policy.

myBMP is a voluntary farm and environmental management system which provides self- assessment mechanisms, practical tools and auditing processes to ensure that Australian cotton is produced according to best managemen

The most important message from the symposium was about complex and dynamic interactions. Interactions between host, pathogen and environment are what determine the economic impact of disease.

Specialist knowledge and information was gained on many different aspects of whitefly ecology, biology and management including findings from Australian and international research programs.

CRDC sponsored ASDS to enable an international Verticillium speaker to present. As part of this sponsorship, CRDC has been provided with complementary registration for one participant.

The annual FUSCOM panel forum provides an opportunity to share updates on all pathology research projects, providing peer support and project review to researchers.

Research summary:

Evaporation of water from open storages is a national problem impacting water security. This is particularly a problem for farmers where evaporation losses are estimated to be above 1,320 GL/year.

The CRDC funded “Automation of recycle system- IREC Field Station” project saw the supply & installation of variable speed drive pump, sensor and recycle pump automation technology to complement the state-of-the-a

Cotton Australia engages cotton growers, consultants, and representatives of industry bodies to provide strategic advice regarding CRDC investments and industry stewardship programs.

Following the establishment phase of the Smarter Irrigation for Profit project, a Rural R&D for Profit initiative, participants identified that one of the key barriers to farmers using scheduling tools is the dive

There is an increasing use of spreaders for application of urea in the cotton industry.

The focus of the project was the strengthening of the existing extension efforts on new irrigation scheduling technologies.

The project objective of increasing understanding of Canopy Temperature Sensors(CTS) in cotton production systems was achieved by using the technology on farm.
