Developed by CSIRO, IrriSat is a weather based irrigation scheduling service. It uses satellite imagery to better determine site specific crop coefficients (Kc) that are needed to calculate crop water use.

Field experiments stocking varying, densities of H.

This project will improve industry capacity to adopt best management practice and improve water use and energy efficiency, through the provision of training, technical support and extension material.

The 2011 grower survey was done for the Cotton CRC and the Cotton Research & Development Corporation.

Irrigators want to improve water use efficiency (WUE) in terms of bales per megalitre with the intention of maximising their profitability or $/ML.

Some insight to the make up of cotton growing farms can be drawn from the 2011 cotton grower survey.

Using information generated from research, the CottASSIST web tools can help cotton growers and consultants refine their management decisions.

Survey information like this helps in targeting research and extension efforts for the industry and to track changes over time. This poster shows just some of the information about irrigation

Soil compaction is a well known risk with most cotton soils and can have significant consequences for productivity.

The Fitzroy Basin Association (FBA) is supporting the delivery of the Cotton myBMP program, and providing significant funding assistance to CQ cotton growers for water quality improvements adopted under myBMP.Between

During the 2008/09 season, a number of cotton fields in Theodore had problems with seedling establishment in areas where large numbers of symphyla were present.

Management of moisture in cotton during ginning is important in determining fibre quality and the energy cost to the ginner.

Over the last decade, grape growers in SE South Australia have had their water entitlements converted to volumetric allocations, experienced a reduction in annual rainfall and seen a rise in the salinity of groundwate

CRDC's Annual Operating Plan for 2012-13 (AOP): the fifth (and final) annual operating plan under the CRDC's Strategic R&D Plan 2008-2013.

The 2011-2012 Annual Report for the Cotton Catchment Communities CRC. 

Within cotton plants nutrients are taken up by roots and partitioned between plant structures.

This project aimed to improve cotton irrigation WUE using dynamic deficits to (i) avoid plant stress and maximize yield and (ii) make the most effective use of in-crop rainfall.

The result of this project is that Cotton Seed Distributors will form a Joint Venture with CRDC and Cotton Australia to; as explained by Bruce Finney CEO of CRDC, “ Build on and expand the resources to the Development
