The funding for project CA1804 was the underwriting of the 2018 Australian Cotton Conference.

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.

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 Macquarie valley is closely monitoring the smart farm and ‘automation” space, there are currently two providers in the valley who are offering new technology that the Macquaire Cotton Grower Association (MCGA) wou

Differential cotton products are highly demanded by customers to provide them with protection, while maintaining comfort during the service of the products.

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.

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.

Growers in the Walgett Cotton Growers Association(CGA) have shown ongoing interest in ensuring that they are at the forefront of new technologies and ideas.

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

Cotton fibre is the most important natural textile fibre, but it requires intensive scouring to disrupt the hydrophobic cuticle to allow dye to penetrate.

Newer export destinations for Australian cotton have demanded larger volumes of traditionally ‘lower’ grade, i.e., shorter staple Middling and Strict Middling types for bulk knit fabrics that like higher grades are st

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

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