The physical condition of soil is a vital aspect of sustainable agricultural production systems and the

Irrigation is a key component of cotton production in Australian agriculture, where increasing pressures of water scarcity requires growers to improve their water use efficiency.

Soil moisture (SM) can highly vary in space and time, and this can have a significant impact on cotton crop yield and fibre quality.

This study examines the effectiveness of publicly-available data to identify farm-scale regions of similarity, and classifies the distribution of physical (available water capacity (AWC)) and chemical (pH and electric

This travel scholarship funding enabled one researcher to attend and present at the International Tri- Conference for Precision Agriculture 2017.

The introduction of transgenic cotton within the cotton industry has allowed for increased yields due to

decreased losses from insect activities. The main pests which have been targeted through the genetic

Australia contributes approximately 12% of the world’s total cotton production, and is the third largest exporter of cotton fibre.

The integrated responses of Australian cotton varieties to warmer temperatures, elevated atmospheric [CO2], and altered VPD were assessed in this thesis.

Within cotton plants nutrients are taken up by roots and partitioned between plant structures.

One third of global food and fibre is produced by irrigation agriculture and it is predicted that this will rise by 50 % in 2040 (Rhoades et al. 1992 ).

Since the early 1960s, global agricultural output has increased at rates and to levels that are unprecedented in human history Much of the productivity increase is attributed to the breeding of high-yielding crop vari

A major issue facing the cotton industry in Australia is the potential for surface and groundwater contamination from the inefficient application of nitrogenous fertilisers.

When faced with attack by disease-causing organisms, plants rely on an elaborate surveillance system that detects pathogens and triggers a battery of defences to protect the host.
