Industrlal trials as part of CRC Project No. 4.03.03 showed cotton through the MLC with a

combing ratio of 19 had 0.02 inches or 0.53 rum more length in terms of UHML (a 2%

Deep drainage below the root zone is still the least understood component of the water balance, especially in cracking clay soils.

Conyza bonariensis (L.) Cronquist, flaxleaf fleabane, originating from South America, is a

major emerging weed threat for dry-land cropping systems in Australia. Conyza bonariensis

The theme of the conference centered on organised grower groups and where they fitted in the agricultural research landscape.

In Bollgard® II cotton 2-5 sprays are required to manage mirid and stinkbugs every season.

The aim of this project was to provide a mechanism for growers of the Lower Namoi Valley to learn from other innovative growers experiences.

The introduction of glyphosate tolerant cotton has significantly improved the

flexibility and management of a number of problem weeds in cotton systems.

The project’s research has developed a new system of soil management. Eight fruitgrowers have set up fruit trees in commercial areas using the system.

The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation provided funds to undertake an 8-week research study on-farm during the 2010-2011 summer.

myBMP Overview: website operational 2010. A power point presentation on myBMP tools, website and resources with technical assistance contacts.

The aims of the project were to determine the effect of selected management practices on carbon sequestration, soil quality and hydrology, crop agronomy and profitability in irrigated and dryland Vertosols using a com

In 2006, Tobacco streak virus (TSV) was identified as the causal agent of the devastating sunflower necrosis disease in central Queensland (CQ), and subsequently in 2007 as the cause of major losses in mungbeans in th

Insecticide resistance represents one of the most significant limitations to successful pest control and economic production in Australian cotton industry.

Various cotton industry programs over recent years have placed more focus on alternative aspects of the traditional extension model such as skill development, knowledge management and capacity building.

Insects can respond to selection pressure by mobilising new defence mechanisms.

GHD was contracted to undertake works by the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation through the grant, 2nd Round 2008 National Program for Sustainable Irrigation, Western Australia and the South West Development

The aims of the project were to determine the effect of selected management practices on

carbon sequestration, soil quality and hydrology, crop agronomy and profitability in irrigated

Deep drainage below the root zone is still the least understood component of the water balance, especially in cracking clay soils.

This project provided for the extension of the Vegetable Irrigation Scheduling System (VISS).

Prolonged drought, along with a growing population and projected global warming effects are driving a focus on more efficient management of water in Australia.
