An efficient plant biosecurity system is vital for protecting Australia’s $31.8 billion plant production industries and our unique environment from exotic plant pest threats.

Technological innovations in the cotton industry are advancing mechanisation and seeking to create improved efficiencies of labour and energy inputs.

The objective of this project was to further investigate the relationship between cotton cellulose’s crystalline structure and the fibre’s tensile properties, as affected by chemical, genetic and/or environmental effe

Deficit (VPD)) and reduced water availability as a consequence of climate change is likely to

affect cotton production. However, there had previously been little research to assess the realworld

Leaf traits of five riparian tree species common to cotton farms of the Northern Murray-Darling Basin were investigated to determine inter- and intraspecific variation.

Verticillium dahliae is a highly destructive fungal pathogen that causes an annual global product loss in cotton of 20%.

Silverleaf whitefly (SLW) and green vegetable bug (GVB) are important pests in the Australian cotton industry.

A warmer and drier climate has been projected in Australia especially for the inner part of Australia (CSIRO, 2007) which covers the cotton production regions.

The cotton sector is a leader in farm WHS because growers have used evidence-based information to develop practical and effective systems to manage WHS.

This research sought to determine why differences in dye uptake may occur between cottons with near identical fibre properties.

Middle East – Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) or B-biotype, commonly referred to as silverleaf whitefly (SLW) is an introduced pest of Australian agriculture, particularly cotton and horticulture.

The cotton industry invests significantly across the cotton industry and agriculture more broadly, though its leadership development programs.

The Binnia Valley is located on the western end of the Liverpool Range approximately 70km south of Mullaley and 20km north of Coolah.

The Burdekin region of coastal north Queensland and other areas of tropical Australia provide a significant opportunity for Australian cotton industry stabilisation and contribution to drought proofing.

A number of research trials have been planned for the 2016/17 season which require an effective and accurate measurement of yield soon after harvest.

This project examined the impact of the expansion of Coal Seam Gas (CSG) production in the Surat Basin on

To celebrate CRDC's 25th anniversary, a new publication highlighting 25 of the major achievements and 25 key contributions to cotton research development and extension from 1990 to 2015.

Rapid customisation is a way of creating physical products directly from digital design files through computer-controlled manufacturing.

Dryland growers are looking to adjust planting dates to better utilise planting opportunities and available soil moisture and minimise the negative impacts of peak flowering during extreme heat events.

An investigation of the viability for an avoided emissions project under a potential Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) method found significant economies of scale are required to offset current high tr
