This report is concerned with R&D requirements and priorities to ensure the refinement, development and integration of methods and frameworks to facilitate their use in water allocation and water reform.

The methods reviews are presented in this Occasional Paper.

This report is concerned with a best practice framework for environmental flow assessments in Australia.

The objectives of the irrigation benchmarking program are to measure aspects of irrigation supply which incorporate the holistic aim of LWRRDC, through the National Program for Irrigation R&D (NPIRD), which are to

The Australian River Assessment Scheme (AUSRIVAS) is a series of procedures and associated software for the rapid assessment of river conditions or 'health' using macroinvertebrate communities.

This is a report on research and development needs for stream restoration in Australia.

The purpose of this study is to review existing information and data sets concerning water and nutrient use by natural plant communities and agricultural plant production systems that have replaced them in southern (p

The rationale for the development of a national experiment within the Sustainable Grazing Systems (SGS) Key Program is outlined, together with a brief description of the sites, their focus of study and the results of

Commercial cotton crops throughout NSW have been surveyed in November and March of each season since 1983 to determine disease distribution, incidence and severity.

Degree days are commonly used by industry and researchers to estimate expected crop development. This assumes that cotton's potential development is largely a function of temperature.

The cotton industry is one of the largest user of pesticides among the Australian agricultural sector. It has been estimated that endosulfan and pyrethroids account for 70% of all insecticides.

Determining the level of insect infestation which causes economic damage (yield loss or significant crop maturity delays), is no simple task.

Conventional plant breeding has done much to improve cotton's tolerance to pests and diseases.

The Australian cotton industry has been practising curative conventional insecticide resistance management and preventative Bt transgenic cotton resistance management for fifteen and two years now, respectively.

There has been a heavy reliance on agri-chemicals in the Australian cotton industry over the past 20 years to increase production and profitability.

Heliothis armigera has been a growing problem for many years, While the cotton producers have borne the brunt of it, reports of increasing damage to crops such as pulses, sorghum an maize have become more frequent.

Precision Agriculture (PA) involves the management of sites or regions within a field based on local requirements rather than field average requirements.

Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt, vascular diseases caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogens Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporumf.sp vasinfectum, respectively, are among the most important diseases of cott

In the late 1980s, growing concern over the impact of irrigated agriculture on the surface and ground waters of NSW, lead the Department of Land and Water Conservation (DLWC), to conduct a water quality monitoring pro

Despite the great potential for increasing cotton productivity through the genetic engineering of fibre development, little progress has so far been made in this area.
