The Australian cotton industry has made considerable yield gains by improving genetics and agronomic management, which is ultimately limited by the environmental constraints in our growing regions.

Effective capture and storage of rain are major challenges for grain and cotton growers in the northern region where only 20-40% of rainfall is typically transpired by dryland crops, with 60% of rainfall lost to

The Australian cotton industry and communities in regions where cotton is grown will continue to experience change challenges associated with drought and water policy, population dynamics, technology adoption and othe

Rising atmospheric CO2, warmer air temperatures, higher Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) and reduced water availability as a consequence of climate change is likely to affect cotton production.

During the past few cotton seasons in the CGA region there were approximately 20 spray drift reports per season, with nearly 40 unreported events per season.

As farming systems become more complex and the administrative burden grows, cotton farmers are not spending the time (and sometimes do not have the skills) to undertake high level climate, investment or business analy

Existing wireless technology and the emergence of low-cost IoT sensors in agriculture offer the possibility to gather relevant data from the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum in real time for irrigation scheduling and t
