Projects featured in this booklet highlight the diversity of the research commissioned by the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation and the practical outcomes they offer for irrigation sustainability and product

Over recent decades the extractive use of water in Australia has dramatically increased, leading to greater agricultural production and, in many instances, to the degradation of riverine ecosystems, loss of productive

A taste of research results from the Native Vegetation R&D Program 10 years on. In this issue: Creating a native vegetation management industry; From principles to practice - managing native vegetation

Changes to Bollgard Resistance Management

Good natural resource management does not have to involve a great deal of extra work and time it should be incorporated into the overall management of the property. This is the philosophy of Richard and Julie Dowse.

This research scopes the current state of play of natural resource governance in the cotton industry in order to formulate sound parameters for a larger research proposal.

The Cotton Best Management Practice (BMP) program was first introduced in 1997 to address negative public opinion of the industry and chemical contamination issues.

Bioremediation can be defined as any process where biological agents provide a practical solution to the unwanted presence of a chemical substance.

Magnet is a blend of synthetic plant volatiles that attracts Helicoverpa moths, especially females. Currently, research is determining strategies to utilize this product in cotton pest management.

In recent years, a number of weeds have emerged as difficult-to-control in dryland cropping systems.

Deep drainage (DD), defined as water that passes beyond the root zone, can be an important contributor in terms of recharging ground water and also in transporting certain amounts of soluble salts away from the princi

The complexity, uncertainty and variability of Australian ecosystems raises the question whether science is able to deliver answers to water sharing problems.

Northern Australian regions could become significant cotton producers in the future if regulatory issues and negative industry perceptions can be overcome (Yeates 2001).

Wincott is a network for all women involved both directly and indirectly in the Australian cotton industry, offering an alternative opportunity for them to increase their knowledge and develop their skills.

Knowledge of the lifecycle of troublesome weeds is crucial for devising successful Integrated Weed Management (IWM) strategies.

High temperature stress adversely affects cotton growth and development. This paper presents preliminary results of studies evaluating methodologies that measure the ability of cotton to tolerate high temperatures.

Roundup Ready cotton has been commercially available to Australian cotton growers for five years and has been widely adopted by the industry with approximately 77% of the area planted to Roundup Ready cotton in the 20

The cost-benefit analysis of 43 fields of cotton defoliated using at least one pass with variable rate chemical application, showed significant benefits for the farmers involved.

Crop and weed sensing technology has existed as a research tool in Australia since 1984. The concept was originally developed by researcher Warwick Felton at the DPI Tamworth.

The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity of Fov in Australian cotton fields.
