Rob Holmes is a cotton consultant who participated in the training activities of the Water Smart project and collected benchmarking data using the Watertrack Rapid tool.

This case study reports on the outcomes of two workshops run in the Mildura district for irrigators and consultants.

Brian Caddy was involved on the project steering committee of the Root Zone Water, Salinity and Nutrient Management Under Precision Irrigation Project managed by Dr Tapas Biswas and Dr Gerrit Schrale which focused on

This case study looks at root zone and salinity monitoring and the potential impact of seasonal conditions on vineyard production.

This case study looks at prototyping the automated soil solution sampling and measurement tool to locate salt in the soil profile.

This case study looks at the project: Soil Management for Australian Irrigated Agriculture.

This case study looks at trialling retention of corn stubble as an inexpensive way to reduce soil water evaporation.

This case study looks at maximising water and nutrient penetration into root zones using improved irrigation scheduling.

The project was looking to achieve this through the development of a new system of soil preparation and management for irrigated orchards, row crops and pastures, enabling large inputs of stable soil organic matter, t

Pressure sensitive transducers (PSTs) can be used to precisely measure water depth and therefore accurately determine the seepage and evaporation losses from water storages.

Shade structures in general are suspended above the water surface using cables.

The delivery of dissolved mineral fertilisers to the roots of crops in the field using irrigation water is known as 'fertigation'.

Fact sheet about evaluating the economics of dam evaporation.

A fact sheet about floating plastic covers to reduce dam evaporation.

A fact sheet about modular covers to reduce dam evaporation.

A fact sheet about research into chemical monolayers to reduce dam evaporation.

A fact sheet about structural and management techniques to reduce water storage evaporation.

Aphid management in particular looking at chemical options as there is industry concern over the high levels of neonicitinoid resistance in aphids (eg. Shield).

Notes from Cotton CRC/DEEDI shed meetings on waterlogging and flood effects

Domestic, high definition video cameras are capable of recording predatory events in cotton crops in considerable detail.
