Defoliating cotton in an increasingly difficult environment

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

Defoliating cotton has increased in difficulty over the years with a growing number of passes and increased rates often required to prepare the crop for picking, and the potential for defoliant drift is of growing concern. Taking into account potential environmental impacts there is a need to review current defoliation...

SLW App commercialisation and development

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

Silverleaf whitefly (SLW) numbers can be difficult to monitor, due to their small size and mobility. This pest has increased in prevalence in recent years and successful management is important to maintain the Australian cotton industry's reputation for high lint quality, and maintain healthy populations of beneficial insects and integrated...

HONOURS: Nutrient stratification in the soil under irrigated and dryland cotton systems in contrasting soil types

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

Continuous cropping and management systems, such as no-till, or minimum-till, can lead to non-uniform distribution of some nutrients at various soil depths. This project will evaluate nutrient distribution in the soil under irrigated and dryland cotton and will propose management strategies to ameliorate this issue.

PhD: Assessing yield and fibre quality variability in cotton systems through data science for improved management

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

The many years of on-farm data, yield maps and fibre quality data collected by growers and gins have the potential to be utilised to better understand the variability experienced in Australian cotton systems. These diverse datasets describe, and help understand the causes of variability; from why yield or fibre quality...
