The grassroots funding objective for this project was to support growers in identifying pathways to incorporate summer crops as a means of improving farming system efficiencies.

This sponsorship funded the travel of one CRDC researcher to attend the 18th Australian Cotton Conference in August 2016.

This project aims to evaluate the reliance of riparian vegetation on groundwater in the Lower Balonne region.

In furrow irrigated cotton production systems the application of nitrogen fertiliser is required for high yielding crops. If excessive nitrogen fertiliser is added then nitrous oxide is produced.

The Carbon Farming Futures program was about ensuring that advances in land management technologies and techniques for emissions reduction and adaptation will lead to enhanced productivity and sustainable land use und

The 'Tales from Cotton' Tour was designed as a cross-sector shared learning experience between the cotton and dairy industries on water and energy use efficiency.

The project objective was to build on an earlier project and fill some gaps in the Walgett area which do not have adequate weather information which growers can utilise to make management decisions and to help in redu

Twice annually, the full CottonInfo team contingent meet to plan activities and receive professional development. The Cotton Info team meeting has three key objectives:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in cotton emphasises conservation of beneficial species (mainly insects and spiders) to suppress pest populations and reduce the need to apply insecticides.

This project is to facilitate grower participation in CA Grower panels to provide research development and extension investment advice.The Cotton Australia grower RD&E Advisory Panels function in providing practic

The purpose of the 2016 Smarter Irrigation Technology Tour (an intensive three day tour to Northern Victoria and Southern NSW) had several objectives.

The cotton industry is rapidly expanding in southern NSW.

Boron and Potassium have overlapping roles to play in plant physiology and hence are synergistic.

The successful SOILpak concept was developed in 1986, but the most recent version of the manual (‘SOILpak for Cotton Growers: Third edition’, 1998, and the accompanying Pocket Notes) is now eighteen years old.

Two successful workshops were held with approximately 50 enthusiastic participants at each. Participants were presented with latest research on river red gums, pointed out noteworthy birds, trees and shrubs.

The cotton industry has a reputation of being forward thinking, generous with knowledge, encouraging and inclusive.

The Cotton Field Awareness Map is an industry initiative which has been designed to highlight the location of cotton fields.

In line with CRDC Strategic Plan 2013 - 18, CRDC has supported the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation with the substratal belief that the success of the Australian cotton industry is driven by

In 2017, there has been plenty of good news for the Australian agricultural sector with the value of farm production forecast to increase by 8.3 percent, making it a record production year across a number of crop indu
