The purpose for attending the XXI N Workshop in person was to present the key findings from the CRDC QUT Targeted N project in remote sensing for N optimisation and precision agriculture.

In 1991, cotton became the first Australian agricultural industry to conduct a full external examination of its environmental performance.

Cotton fibre is the most used natural fibre globally.

In recent years the industry has increased their adoption of bankless channel or siphon-less irrigation systems.

“The Gatekeeper to Photosynthesis: Mesophyll Conductance and Abiotic Stress in Cotton” endeavoured to build on the limited understanding of mesophyll conductance – the process of CO2 diffusion through the leaf to reac

According to Cotton Australia, energy costs in the cotton industry have increased by 350% from 2000 to 2014.

In 2019, the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) commissioned this

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Agriculture plays a vital role in the well-being of rural communities, food security, employment, and societal improvement.

Over four years from 2019 to 2023, the Rural Research and Development for Profit Round 2 project, ‘Area Wide Management (AWM) for cropping systems weeds: investigating the weed management, social and economic op

The objectives of this project were to (i) identify the causal factors for yield variability and (ii) develop strategic soil and crop management options to address yield variability and improve soil health and s
