Verticillium dahliae is a highly destructive fungal pathogen that causes an annual global product loss in cotton of 20%.

This research sought to determine why differences in dye uptake may occur between cottons with near identical fibre properties.

The phosphorus dynamics of dryland cotton production require further elucidation, particularly the role of residual fertiliser P and mycorrhizal infection in yield.

The purpose of this travel sponsorship was to attend and present the researchers findings at the 6th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS Federation of European Microbiological Societies), Maastricht, the Nether

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

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.

A number of research trials have been planned for the 2016/17 season which require an effective and accurate measurement of yield soon after harvest.

This travel scholarship provided funded for the researcher to present the major findings from the researchers PhD to the European Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2015.

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.

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.

The majority of Australia’s cotton producing soil is grey or black vertosols which have high clay content and are naturally prone to waterlogging following heavy rain or surface irrigation.

The development of farming machinery and digital technology that is able to generate objective information about the status of the soil, water, crops, pasture and animals is quickly changing the way in which farming b

The Australian Rural Leadership Foundation was established in 1992 based on the premise that developing leaders in rural, regional and remote Australia could influence change across organisations, industries as a whol

The incorporation of crop residues post-harvest can provide an important source of nitrogen (N) for the subsequent crop but can simultaneously lead to elevated nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.

The research conference brought together 230 delegates with 135 presentations across a range of disciplines as well as 7 keynote speakers.

The Cotton Australia Grower RD&E Advisory Panels function in providing practical advice on research, development and extension (RD&E) needs and priorities within the industry.

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.

In Australia we have a proud tradition of extension and adoption within primary industries.

The International Congress of Entomology (ICE) is held every four years in different countries in the world.
