This benchmarking report presents direct energy data (diesel and electricity use) collected on irrigated Australian cotton farms.

Energy is one of the fastest growing on-farm costs (electricity costs alone have increased by around 350 percent since 2000).

Irrigated cotton growers stand to make substantial savings in fuel and greenhouse gas emissions in tractor operations if appropriate tractor engine and ground speeds are used and tillage depth is kept to the shallowes

AN ENERGY efficiency audit of the new overhead irrigation system on Adam McVeigh's Darling Downs farm in southern Queensland has set him on the path to reducing emissions and making big savings in energy costs.

The 2015 Australian Cotton Production Manual is a critical reference tool for cotton growers: a one-stop-shop of on-farm cotton production information.

A comprehensive testing program of conventional large mixed flow pumps typically used on cotton irrigation farms has found that these pumps, if correctly tuned, can operate at high efficiency levels with reduced energ

The Australian Cotton Comparative Analysis provides the industry benchmark for the economics of cotton growing in Australia.

GUNNEDAH farmer Scott Morgan has slashed the amount of money he spends on electricity used to irrigate cotton on his property, 'Kensal Green', by investing in solar and by reducing the amount of energy he us

If you want to produce more bales of cotton per ML of water used, an irrigation evaluation is an important tool for improving your water use efficiency.

Groundwater monitoring - What to monitor. What equipment is needed. How often to monitor.

It is a cotton BMP requirement that water sources be tested for pH, salinity risks (electrical conductivity), and sodicity risks (sodium adsorption ratio).

Alternative and renewable energy sources, including solar for powering cotton production, were hot topics at the February 2015 CottonInfo Big Day Out at St George, QLD.
