The concepts associated with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) are central to insect control and management across the Australian cotton industry.

Under conditions of reduced water availability, research over a number of years has indicated that optimum area to irrigate is that which allows around 5 to 6 ML per ha for the irrigated crop.

A national workshop was convened by National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) to establish the need for national standards for rrigated crop water balance and crop evapotranspiration (ETc1) fiel

There is a close relationship between how land is managed and the impact phosphorus may have on in-stream health.

Recent research suggests that another factor that affects bloom formation is the management of flows in both rivers and water storage areas. Rivers rarely experience algal bloom outbreaks during periods of high flow.
