Geographical factors are defining the extreme variability in climate and water supply in Australia and, in the past, this was used as a rationale for the construction of large irrigation projects to deliver water to r

There are many critical issues facing the cotton industry, ranging from drought and water supply; yield and profitability; fibre quality and export price; nutrition; sustainability-catchment management, and BMP implem

In 1996, a set of guidelines called the “Australian Cotton Industry Best Management Program”, or Cotton BMP for short was developed.

Thielaviopsis basicola, a phytopathogenic filamentous fungus, is the causative agent of black root rot in a variety of host plants, including the economically important crop, cotton.

This document provides and overview of design and functionality of the Cotton Best Management Practices eBMP project.

Black root rot is a recognised threat to the cotton industry, yet current management strategies are insufficient for disease control.

In June-July 2007, five Year 12 students from all around Australia were given a once in a

lifetime opportunity to travel to Russia for a scientific study tour hosted by the All-Russian

Assessing changes in resource conditions is seen as an essential element for evaluating the impact of public and private investment in natural resource management(NRM) outcomes.

The three day Field to Fabric course was extensive and detailed, with a diverse range of

participants. It was an advantage to have people coming from all aspects of the cotton

A project investigating the molecular and histological effects of silicon application on cotton infected with Fov was inspired by promising preliminary results obtained by Dr Linda Smith (QPl&F) in glasshouse and

Advancing Water Management in NSW was initiated by industry and government in recognition of the importance of investing in a highly effective extension team to assist the cotton industry improve water use efficiency.

In recent years mirids and stinkbugs have emerged as important sucking pests in cotton. While stinkbugs are causing damage to bolls, mirids are causing damage to seedlings, squares and bolls.

Globally, natural wetlands are under threat from water resource development

reflecting the need to support a growing population. In the Border Rivers Catchment

The Australian cotton industry has developed high yielding and high quality fibre

Cotton aphid and two-spotted mite have the potential to cause dramatic reductions in the yield and fibre quality of cotton. Management of these pests is strongly dependent on insecticides and acaricides.

This project used market research to determine the extension needs for healthy soils irrigated cotton areas in NSW and Queensland.

The effects of rotation crops and stubble management on soil quality, carbon sequestration, deep drainage, nutrient leaching, yield and profitability of succeeding cotton in irrigated and dryland Vertosols was studied

The CQ Cotton IDO is the key to delivery of emerging, cutting edge research information and knowledge to the Central Queensland Cotton Industry.

The Field to Fibre course, which is a formal three 3 day course, is presented in Geelong at

CSME. It gives participants an opportunity to interact with leading researchers
