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.

This travel scholarship funded the attendance of one researcher to participate and present at the 2018 FUSCOM Conference.

Organic matter in soil can supply more than 50% of the nitrogen (N) to cotton crops, but this pool of N supply is dynamic and difficult to predict.

Economic and social concerns are driving an increased focus on water use in irrigated dairying in south east Australia.

The focus of the project was the strengthening of the existing extension efforts on new irrigation scheduling technologies.
