predecessors have invested in irrigation research for nearly two

decades covering topics at the field, farm and catchment scales; and

Australia's water resources are in a serious state, both in reduced quantity and declining quality due to

This project used a series of communication processes to structure an engagement strategy between CRDC and Crop Consultants Australia or CCA and the wider cotton industry R&D organisations.

Diminishing water supply, changing weather patterns and pressure to enhance environmental flows are making it imperative to optimise water use efficiency (WUE) on cotton/grain farming systems.

This project supports the ongoing development of IPM in cotton by targeting emerging pest issues, and inappropriate management which may threaten IPM. Key outcomes were:

The Cotton export market is highly competitive and when it comes to quality Australia needs to be the world's best.
