Leaf traits of five riparian tree species common to cotton farms of the Northern Murray-Darling Basin were investigated to determine inter- and intraspecific variation.

CRDC recognises that people are the cotton industry’s greatest resource. We continue to invest

in the capacity and capability of people through many programs, designed to build a skilled,

A warmer and drier climate has been projected in Australia especially for the inner part of Australia (CSIRO, 2007) which covers the cotton production regions.

Deficit (VPD)) and reduced water availability as a consequence of climate change is likely to

affect cotton production. However, there had previously been little research to assess the realworld

Diseases of Cotton XI project aimed to increase Australia’s biosecurity preparedness through

early detection by completing annual disease surveillance on commercial cotton farms,

Over the last 22 years the Australian cotton industry, through the CRDC and Cotton CRC, have actively invested in the dissemination of research information to growers and the broader community.

The colour of cotton fibre is affected by plant genetics, environmental factors, harvest and processing conditions.

In response to many inquiries about EM38 technology, either from those who came to an industry field day (as part of the Irrigation Technology Tour Feb 2015) or who have spoken with someone else who attended, Departme

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

Energy costs are the second largest gross margin cost item for Australian cotton growers after wages. Half of this cost is consumed in pumping water for irrigation.

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.

Rapid customisation is a way of creating physical products directly from digital design files through computer-controlled manufacturing.

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.

To celebrate CRDC's 25th anniversary, a new publication highlighting 25 of the major achievements and 25 key contributions to cotton research development and extension from 1990 to 2015.

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.

Dryland growers are looking to adjust planting dates to better utilise planting opportunities and available soil moisture and minimise the negative impacts of peak flowering during extreme heat events.

This project relates to management of the following programme items for CRDC: Inside Cotton is a complete online historical record library of all information relating to research and industry. representing.

The cotton sector is a leader in farm WHS because growers have used evidence-based information to develop practical and effective systems to manage WHS.

Agriculture is facing current productivity challenges in terms of managing pests and diseases, which

will significantly increase within the next decade. With a general decline in productivity growth and

Australian cotton growers are exposed to and manage a variety of cotton diseases.
