This report presents the key outcomes of a collaborative research study between NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC).

The importance of black root rot in cotton has increased to the point that it can determine if a field could be planted or not with the crop.

The introduction of transgenic cotton within the cotton industry has allowed for increased yields due to

decreased losses from insect activities. The main pests which have been targeted through the genetic

The Australian cotton industry recognises the value of people and has a vision that by 2029 it will be an - an industry that “retains, attracts and develops highly capable people” (Cotton Research and Development Corp

Automating surface irrigation systems can deliver both improved efficiencies in labor and water use.

In this project the performance of 40 centre pivot and lateral move overhead irrigation systems will be continuously monitored throughout the 2014-15 cropping year to ascertain the performance of the systems and colle

The project successfully captured interactions between cultivar (genetic) x season (environment) x field management x post processing (ginning) variables.

This research investigated the use of continuously monitor leaf hydration of cotton non-destructively and remotely using ZIM-probes throughout the irrigation cycle.

CottonInfo’s cotton nutrition

tour hit the road in February 2016, bringing 10 leading cotton nutrition researchers onto farms

across five cotton growing valleys.

The purpose of this travel sponsorship was to attend and present the researchers findings at the 6th Congress of European Microbiologists (FEMS Federation of European Microbiological Societies), Maastricht, the Nether

Management of soil organic carbon (SOC) is necessary for sustainable agricultural development.

Within the national framework for biosecurity, all commonwealth and state governments and plant industries who are signatories to the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed (EPPRD) formally commit to preparations that inc

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.

CRDC recognises that people are the cotton industry’s greatest resource. We continue to invest

in the capacity and capability of people through many programs, designed to build a skilled,

This travel scholarship provided funded for the researcher to present the major findings from the researchers PhD to the European Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2015.

The winter edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, investigates the issue of big data and the evolution from precision agriculture to decision agriculture.

The 2016 Australian Cotton Production Manual is a critical reference tool for cotton growers: a one-stop-shop of on-farm cotton production information.

The 2016-17 CRDC Researchers' Handbook is a key resource for all researchers working with, or interested in applying for funding from, the CRDC.

This document provides a brief outline of the projects CRDC invested in for 2016-17 (current as of May 2016).

The autumn edition of CRDC's magazine, Spotlight, looks at the ground-breaking work CRDC is investing in with its research partners to develop ways to make cotton production more reliable and profitable.
