1) to study the effects of exogenous BR on cotton growth and tolerance to water, salt and pathogen stresses;  

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

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.

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.

Diseases of cotton are of a significant constraint to cotton production and have been identified as key areas for investment by the cotton industry.

The 2019/20 irrigation season saw another low allocation year for general security irrigators in the Murrumbidgee Valley, with only 5% entitlement for much of the season.
