The project successfully captured interactions between cultivar (genetic) x season (environment) x field management x post processing (ginning) variables.

The Sicala 340BRF fibre grown commercially over the last three seasons generally produced a fibre with variable quality.

The dyeing of cotton is influenced by chemical and physical interactions between dye molecules and the substrate, many of which are not well understood.

The Field to Fibre course, which is a formal three 3 day course, is presented in Geelong at

CSME. It gives participants an opportunity to interact with leading researchers

The three day Field to Fabric course was extensive and detailed, with a diverse range of

participants. It was an advantage to have people coming from all aspects of the cotton
