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.

This research investigated the use of continuously monitor leaf hydration of cotton non-destructively and remotely using ZIM-probes throughout the irrigation cycle.

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

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).

The importance of black root rot in cotton has increased to the point that it can determine if a field could be planted or not with the crop.

Automating surface irrigation systems can deliver both improved efficiencies in labor and water use.

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

Management of soil organic carbon (SOC) is necessary for sustainable agricultural development.

The project successfully captured interactions between cultivar (genetic) x season (environment) x field management x post processing (ginning) variables.

CottonInfo’s cotton nutrition

tour hit the road in February 2016, bringing 10 leading cotton nutrition researchers onto farms
