Insecticide resistance results in reduced product efficacy and represents a major cost to agricultural production in terms of economic, environmental and social consequences.

The winter edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, acknowledges the role of women in the industry with the celebration of International Day for Women and Girls in Science and International Women’s Day with some wo

The 2019 Australian Cotton Production Manual is a critical reference tool for cotton growers: a one-stop-shop of on-farm cotton production information.

The Australian Cotton Comparative Analysis provides the industry benchmark for the economics of cotton growing in Australia.

Soil moisture (SM) can highly vary in space and time, and this can have a significant impact on cotton crop yield and fibre quality.

Man-made fibres were initially manufactured to imitate natural fibres for textile applications.

For many in the agriculture industry around the world, an issue of significant concern is the sourcing of staff with the required skill set to assist in managing the operation of their farm businesses.

Irrigation is a key component of cotton production in Australian agriculture, where increasing pressures of water scarcity requires growers to improve their water use efficiency.

Drought is one of these natural weather phenomena set to accelerate that causes massive losses to agricultural crops, increase land degradation, reduce clean water supplies and thereby inducing malnutrition and starva

The Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) Strategic Plan 2018-2023 Goal 3 calls for building the adaptive capacity of the Australian cotton industry to enable the industry to achieve its future vision.

The purpose of this travel scholarship was to enable tone researcher to participate in and present results of Australian whitefly research at the 3rd International Whitefly Symposium in 2018, held in Perth.

Cotton has been looked to be a commercial crop in the Northern Territory on several occasions over the last 100 years, firstly as a wet season crop and more recently (in the last 25 years) as a dry season (winter) cro

The introduction of insecticidal transgenic varieties into the Australian cotton market in the mid-1990’s allowed the industry to substantially reduce its pesticide use but resistance continues to threaten its efficac

Dr Ben Henley of the University of Melbourne was invited to present and participate as a panel member in the Australian Cotton Conference Cotton Conference "Climate Session presentation and Panel Discussion"

Cotton is now a significant crop in the irrigated Riverina region of southern NSW, Australia, increasing in area from approximately 39,000 ha in 2013 to 90,050 ha in 2018 and contributing from between 10-30% of Austra

The Upper Namoi Cotton Growers CGA showed particular interest in the water savings and water efficiency infrastructure available.

This two-year trial aimed to explore soft management options for whitefly management in the southern valleys.

The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development Corporations, and is focused on three main aims:

• Facilitating the development of digital technology in Australian agriculture.

This travel Scholarship supported Dr Robert Mensah, who was invited by the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC)and presented the topic “IPM is Key to Insecticide Management: Alternative Solutions for Insecti
