The introduction of glyphosate tolerant cotton has significantly improved the

flexibility and management of a number of problem weeds in cotton systems.

Water consumption in the irrigation sector has a perception of being a high water consumer, these perceptions are not wrong. Currently it represents 53% of total water consumption in Victoria (ABS, 2010).

The aims of the project were to determine the effect of selected management practices on carbon sequestration, soil quality and hydrology, crop agronomy and profitability in irrigated and dryland Vertosols using a com

Resistance to poses a threat to the continued sustainable production of cotton that transgenic agriculture has enabled.

The Australian cotton industry places a large emphasis on IPM. To boost IPM further, along with plant based threshold and monitoring procedures, IPM tools are needed.

Industrlal trials as part of CRC Project No. 4.03.03 showed cotton through the MLC with a

combing ratio of 19 had 0.02 inches or 0.53 rum more length in terms of UHML (a 2%

A knowledge system model to improve the effectiveness of the transfer of(irrigation) information to growers was developed and tested.

The Australian cotton industry generates, on average, over $1.5billion per year in export revenue. About 80 per cent of cotton farms are irrigated and the farms are generally mixed enterprise operations.

Industrial trials as part of CRC Project No.

Deep drainage below the root zone is still the least understood component of the water balance, especially in cracking clay soils.

Novel approaches to irrigation scheduling are becoming critically important as water resources in the Basin come under increased scrutiny.

Good soil structure is essential for healthy, resilient plants because it allows them to develop extensive, active root systems.

Fusarium wilt of cotton was first identified in Australia on the Darling Downs in 1993. The diseasehas now been found in most cotton producing areas in Queensland and New South Wales.-

With an increase in world population and recent global climate changes causing increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather patterns, the reliance on groundwater is and will continue to be increasing.

This publication serves as a key document to reference current cotton production practices, and as such, is a most important resource for all cotton producers, especially those entering the industry for the first time

The aim of this project was to identify factors which could influence mirid damage to cotton.

This microsatellite survey provided information on population structure and movement of H. armigera at both the local and regional levels.
