A national workshop was convened by National Program for Irrigation Research and Development (NPIRD) to establish the need for national standards for rrigated crop water balance and crop evapotranspiration (ETc1) fiel

Under conditions of reduced water availability, research over a number of years has indicated that optimum area to irrigate is that which allows around 5 to 6 ML per ha for the irrigated crop.

The effects of rotation crops and their management on soil properties of Vertosols, cotton yield and profitability were monitored from 1993 to 2001 in 3 irrigated field trials in NSW (Warren in the Macquarie valley, a

Currently, the qualities that are being engineered into cotton relate to crop management issues such as insect-resistance (Frutos et al.

This project arose from the 'Fibre Plus' workshops at Narrabri coordinated by both the Cotton CRC and the CRDC.

This symposium was the first conference held specifically for biological control of arthropods and follows the successful model of four-yearly symposia for biological control of weeds.

The International Society of Chemical Ecology (ISCE) exists to promote the understanding of interactions between organisms and their environment that are mediated by naturally occurring chemicals.

Irrigating cotton requires balancing excessive vegetative growth due to abundant water supply against limited yield potential due to water restriction.

Cotton fibres are single epidermal cells developed from the ovule.

The Australian industry efforts were reviewed by Dr Patrick Colyer, a plant pathologist with extensive experience in cotton, from Louisiana State University, USA.

Since the early 1960s, global agricultural output has increased at rates and to levels that are unprecedented in human history Much of the productivity increase is attributed to the breeding of high-yielding crop vari

A major issue facing the cotton industry in Australia is the potential for surface and groundwater contamination from the inefficient application of nitrogenous fertilisers.
