The project has developed three practising certified myBMP auditors. There are currently no growers waiting for a certification audit.

‘Assuring industry capacity to manage the stewardship of biotechnologies and crop protection products’, is a key tactic within the CRDC’s 2012-12 Annual Operating Plan.

Building growers capacity to adopt and adapt innovation ensures the outputs of research have the greatest impact.

This project sought to create a forum which brings together all levels of the cotton industry

in the Macquarie Valley and from across all geographical areas of the valley, giving a

Based on the data that emerged from a Human resources project undertaken earlier in 2012 and reported on in March 2012, the objectives of this project were to investigate the likely level of support for a Strategic Pr

The objectives of this project were to compare results from Uster Technologies IntelliGin system, an in-line leaf, colour and moisture monitor for cotton ginning, with leaf and colour grade results from the standard H

Cotton is a relatively new irrigated crop in Southern NSW and has proven to be financially profitable.

The reintroduction of cotton to the Australian semi arid tropics (SAT) was prevented by insect pests

that are dominant during the wet (summer) season and a perception that the crop could only be

Field surveys of insect populations in agroecosystems reveal low but significant levels of tolerance to Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt) toxins without mutational changes in resistance alleles.

In 2012–13 NSW DPI undertook a nine month bench-marking project in both the western and southern NSW irrigation production region commissioned by the CRDC.

This workshop will be taught by seven international Fusarium experts.

The Women’s Industry Network, Cotton (Wincott) received a research grant from the Cotton

Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) in 2010 to develop a survey to canvass rural

Water is the major factor limiting cotton production in Australia, with 70-90% of the cotton production area usually managed under an irrigated system.

The purpose of the travel was to attend the 5th Joint Australian and New Zealand Soil

Science Conference in Hobart, Tasmania from the 2-7 December 2012 to present the

The advent of Bt-cotton led to a dramatic decline in insecticide use against Helicoverpa spp. in the Australian cotton industry.

It is important for ginners to monitor classing and leaf grade in order to maximize grower returns in terms of classing grade, and to reduce fibre damage.

The initiative aims to encourage more young people into the cotton industry by demonstrating the diversity of employment opportunities available within cotton production in Australia.

CRDC's Annual Operating Plan for 2013-14 (AOP): the first annual operating plan under the CRDC's Strategic R&D Plan 2013-18.

The Australian Cotton Production Manual 2013 is a critical reference tool for cotton growers.

WATERpak provides technical information and practical advice to help irrigators improve irrigation practices, minimise environmental impacts and increase farm profits from irrigated cotton crops.
