The autumn edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, looks at the ground-breaking work CRDC is investing in with its research partners to develop ways to make cotton production more reliable and profitable.

This document provides a brief outline of the projects CRDC invested in for 2016-17 (current as of May 2016).

The 2016-17 CRDC Researchers' Handbook is a key resource for all researchers working with, or interested in applying for funding from, the CRDC.

The 2016 Australian Cotton Production Manual is a critical reference tool for cotton growers: a one-stop-shop of on-farm cotton production information.

The winter edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, investigates the issue of big data and the evolution from precision agriculture to decision agriculture.

For sustainable cotton production, Australian cotton farming systems need to promote and optimize soil biological functions to by improving nutrient use efficiency, increasing biological nitrogen inputs, reducing dise

The glass transition temperature (Tg) is the thermal transition at which point a polymer goes from a firm glassy state to a more pliable form.

The objective of this project was to further investigate the relationship between cotton cellulose’s crystalline structure and the fibre’s tensile properties, as affected by chemical, genetic and/or environmental effe

The potential contribution of surface and ground water to overall nitrous oxide emissions from irrigated production systems has not yet been quantified.

Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) presents a major biosecurity threat to the Australian industry. The exotic Cotton blue disease (CBD) is also of concern.

The purpose of the funding was to co-fund a workshop entitled: Harnessing rhizosphere-soil-microbial interactions for increasing farm productivity and resilience of farming systems.

An efficient plant biosecurity system is vital for protecting Australia’s $31.8 billion plant production industries and our unique environment from exotic plant pest threats.

Middle East – Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) or B-biotype, commonly referred to as silverleaf whitefly (SLW) is an introduced pest of Australian agriculture, particularly cotton and horticulture.

The introduction of transgenic cotton within the cotton industry has allowed for increased yields due to

decreased losses from insect activities. The main pests which have been targeted through the genetic

This project sought to verify whether the Mein-Larson variant of the Green-Ampt infiltration equation could work for time-varying application rates using real-world moving sprinkler systems.

This project examined the impact of the expansion of Coal Seam Gas (CSG) production in the Surat Basin on

In this project the performance of 40 centre pivot and lateral move overhead irrigation systems will be continuously monitored throughout the 2014-15 cropping year to ascertain the performance of the systems and colle

The Burdekin region of coastal north Queensland and other areas of tropical Australia provide a significant opportunity for Australian cotton industry stabilisation and contribution to drought proofing.

This report presents the key outcomes of a collaborative research study between NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC).

Within the national framework for biosecurity, all commonwealth and state governments and plant industries who are signatories to the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed (EPPRD) formally commit to preparations that inc
