About 1,000,000 tons of textile fibre wastes are generated each year in Australia, of which about 900,000 tons goes to landfill.

The Cotton Industry needs to demonstrate that its practices are sustainable (and communicate this to the community and government).

Both neonicotinoid seed treatments provided ineffective control against resistant cotton aphid. Further use of these treatments against resistant populations may exacerbate resistance.

The Healthy HeadWaters Water Use Efficiency (HHWUE) project is helping Queensland Murray-Darling Basin irrigators invest in more efficient irrigation systems and technologies that reduce water loss and deliver long-te

Future world meat and milk production has to increase to feed a population of 8-10 billion people within a few years.

This project examined a wide range of water quality parameters of surface water and groundwater in the Quirindi -Gunnedah area including trace elements, nutrients, agricultural chemicals, stable isotope ratios, organi

A collaborative partnership of 16 industry and government organisations from around Australia who have chosen to partner in investments in research and development and its adoption to improve the productivity and sust

NSW DPI is actively working with research teams to comply to internationally recognised standards

We measured the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) from irrigated cotton that had been fertilised at four rates of N.

Fusarium wilt of cotton caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp vasinfectum remains an economic constraint to cotton production.

The study determined the chemical components of cotton and alternative host plants that influence acceptance or rejection of such plants by adults and larvae of Helicoverpa spp.

The CRDC-funded project, -Ecology of Helicoverpa punctigera revisited: implications for Bt resistance-, followed our inland trip in May 2009 to determine the extent of winter breeding of the native budworm, Helicoverp

Australian cotton is usually purchased to produce high quality, fine count ring spun yarn. Spinners nominate low contamination as one of the favoured properties of Australian cotton.

Introducing vetch into rotations in cotton-wheat systems of northern NSW has a number of benefits.

There are several important questions that have been raised about the black root rot pathogen, including: How can one detect black root rot? What makes it spread so fast? What makes it so hard to control?

No changes to the current Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy for SLW.

Deep drainage below irrigated crops wastes a scarce resource and can potentially lead to rising water tables and salinity.

The frequency of neonicotinoid resistant Aphis gossypii Glover populations has markedly decreased from a high of 94% to a moderate 22% in a single season.

Wee Waa based businesses are highly dependent (82%) on agriculture and irrigation water availability. Cotton accounts for over half of their business income (51%).

salinity, and low exchangeable K concentrations are common constraints in many cracking clays. Recommendations for ameliorating sodicity include applying gypsum alone or in combination with deep tillage.
