Weather Station Upgrades: The Darling Downs Cotton Growers Inc (DDCGI), and individual growers established 21 weather stations between the period 1996-1998, to provide growers with localised weather information to ass

Sustainable weed management in cotton farming systems is critical to the long-term production of profitable, high yielding cotton crops.

The Nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPV) are dsDNA invertebrate-specific obligate pathogens of the insect orders Lepidoptera, Hymenopteran and Dipteran belonging to the family Baculoviridae (Baculovirus).

Boron and Potassium have overlapping roles to play in plant physiology and hence are synergistic.

Achieving reliable, even crop establishment has been identified through the Dryland Cotton Research Association (DCRA) project meetings as one of the major concerns dryland cotton growers face.

This project supported a teacher and four students to attend the Cotton Conference on the Gold Coast.

The cotton industry has a reputation of being forward thinking, generous with knowledge, encouraging and inclusive.

Two successful workshops were held with approximately 50 enthusiastic participants at each. Participants were presented with latest research on river red gums, pointed out noteworthy birds, trees and shrubs.

The advent of round module picking, has created the opportunity to conduct 'large plot' replicated experiments at a field scale.
