The aim of this research is to define the best rotation/management combination whereby yields and quality of subsequent cotton crops can be maximized and sustained over the long-term.

Australian Rainfed Cotton has been grown with startling results over the last 10 - 15 years.

In 1993 a series of experiments were established in the Namoi and Macquarie valleys to study the effects and benefits of rotation crops for subsequent cotton crops.
