Small palaeochannels located in irrigated cotton fields have been identified as areas of potential high deep drainage (Triantafilis et al. 2003).

Contamination is the major issue of concern to the ginning, and textile industry. In our study cottons with and without foreign matter were processed into yarn.

Cotton continues to be a tricky plant to get a consistent understanding on its responses to phosphorus and potassium fertilisers.

Issue being addressed Peak summer weather in the central Highlands region can be highly variable with potential for cloudy wet monsoonal influences or high temperatures and humidity which reduces a crops capacity to k

To provide the cotton industry with an update of the rates of work related serious injury and fatality to ensure that the most current and complete data possible is made available so that any priorities for and/or act

The Problem Silverleaf whitefly is costly to manage.

Several recent experiments at ACRI, Narrabri have illustrated the fate of N fertiliser in irrigated cotton cropping.

Energy costs have risen significantly over the past decade and cotton growers continue to look for ways to improve their on farm energy use efficiency.

We have shown that target site insensitivity in Australian Aphis gossypii via the R81T mutation is not the causal mechanism of neonicotinoid resistance despite overseas studies implicating such.

Evaporation losses during sprinkler irrigation are perceived by the irrigation community to be high and is a major impediment to the adoption of sprinkler irrigation.

Research suggests that farmers' economic behaviour and productivity is predicted by their personality traits (Austin, Deary, & Willock, 2001; Willock et al., 1999).

To quantify and explain patterns of soil compaction caused by cotton pickers and to develop a set of practical recommendations for minimising soil damage during harvesting operations.

Cotton gin trash (CGT) collected from Australian cotton gins was evaluated for bioethanol production.

Aim and objectives On average about one third of applied nitrogen is lost which costs the cotton industry $32 million each year.

The project will investigate the impact of land management practices (tillage, stubble management, crop rotation) on carbon losses through terrestrial pathways such as runoff, erosion, and leaching.

With rogue cotton becoming a seemingly common sight along roadways and drainage lines a survey was conducted throughout Queensland and parts of northern New South Wales covering over 13,000km of roads and drainage way

Australian cotton is now dominated by transgenic (Bt) varieties, which provides a strong platform for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of key pests such as Helicoverpa spp.

Micronaire is a measure of fibre linear density (fineness) and maturity. Factors affecting supply and partitioning of photosynthetic assimilates to fruit affect micronaire.

The Australian cotton industry has used values of Gross Production Water Use Index (GPWUIfarm) to benchmark water use efficiency since 1988/89.

Early planting poses some risk in cool regions resulting in re-planting if cold days or frost occur after emergence.
