CSE1304 set out to test assumptions for refuges; tested if tolerance in addition to resistance could be a potential threat to Bt cotton efficacy and looked at ways to improve refuge governance.

Climatic variability, typified by erratic heavy-rainfall events can cause soil waterlogging and yield losses in irrigated cotton.

The reason for travel is to attend the 2014 Beltwide Cotton Conference to be held from the 6 – 8 January at the Marriott Hotel in New Orleans, LA, USA.

In June 2014, irrigation researchers met in Narrabri for IrriCOMM. This workshop arose from discussion

between CSIRO, CRDC and NSW DPI about irrigation research. The tools that irrigators are using to

The broad aim of the ‘UNE/CRDC Cotton Course’ has been to provide students with the necessary scientific and practical skills for sustainable cotton production.

CRDC’s Grassroots Grants program encourages Cotton Grower Associations to apply for funding to support capacity building projects in their region.

With growers now making decisions about how much nitrogen to apply and when, it's worthwhile considering the findings of the CottonInfo N trials: lower upfront N application may help improve NFUE.

Riparian land is usually the most fertile and productive part of the landscape: providing benefits to both agriculture and the natural environment.

Alternative and renewable energy sources, including solar for powering cotton production, were hot topics at this week’s (24 and 25 February) CottonInfo Big Days Out at St George, QLD and Gunnedah, NSW.
