This report underpins the aim of this research project, which is to provide initial objective understanding of the influence of various sleepwear and bedding on the sleep microclimates.

Cotton production in Australia is limited by the lack of water availability in most years.

Soil is an invaluable finite resource, and there is considerable interest in monitoring the status of soil, as well as the direction and degree of any changes in soil attributes.

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

This project aimed to improve the profit of 3,000 cotton, dairy, rice and sugar irrigators with the support of 16 research and development partners and 19 farmer irrigation technology learning sites.

This travel exchange sponsorship funded the researcher to present t two international conferences, their paper based on the findings of the Legal Dimensions aspects of the Accelerating Precision Agriculture to Decisio

Following the success of CottonInfo researcher tours over recent years, the 2018 “Optimising Irrigation & Nitrogen” tour aimed to bring together researchers, industry, advisors and growers; with the objective of r

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.

Following extensive discussions since 2010, CRDC agreed to provide seed funding for a Centre for Biopesticides and Semiochemicals, to be developed by researchers from NSW Department of Primary Industry(DPI), the Unive

Southern Valley irrigators recently sought funding to assist with an education and outreach program to assist with two issues which had been identified in their region. The two issues chosen to tackle were:

Sponsorship funding for the 5th Australian National Soil Judging Competition took place over three days in Toowoomba, Queensland from 26 to 28 September.

Risk is ever-present in Australian agriculture. It is not a new issue for farm businesses and has in fact often been the driver for new ideas, innovation and change.

Fertiliser nitrogen use efficiency in irrigated cotton was assessed on the Darling Downs over 3 years.

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

Deep drainage and runoff, combined with poor nitrogen fertiliser practice, is resulting in significant nitrogen losses in early season irrigation.

The Cotton Australia grower RD&E Advisory Panels provide a critical role within the cotton industry by providing practical advice on research, development and extension needs and priorities.

Fertiliser is commonly spread in a typical cotton farming system and evidence suggests that the spreaders being used have not been calibrated properly meaning that these machines are not operating at maximum efficienc

This projected funded the purchase of an autoclave, which was identified as a critical capital asset for ACRI, with multiple NSW DPI and CSIRO research projects utilising the unit for cleaning and decontamination of l
