Research project

Science leadership for cotton development in Northern Australia

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This project, a continuation of CRDC Project CSP1602, provides science leadership for potential new cotton developments in northern Australia. Proposed Summer cotton cropping enables Winter double cropping, with grain/fodder and cottonseed as a protein source for beef cattle. This project coordinates industry activities, including extension of research, while providing technical...

Potential for Broadacre cropping in the Northern Territory

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This project aims to support the development of viable broadacre cotton systems in the Northern Territory, through the collation of historical broadacre cropping data, natural resource information and an understanding of market opportunities. The initial focus of the project is on rain-fed and irrigated systems growing cotton and peanut crops,...

PhD: Classifying the suitability of Murrumbidgee valley soils for cotton production

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

Soil constraints are one of the major challenges for long term profitability in southern New South Wales (NSW) cotton growing areas. While extensive work has been done on soil–cotton relationships, most of this research has focused on grey–black vertosols which dominate northern growing regions and are well understood. As the...

SATACROP

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This project provides support to an online crop mapping tool, SataCrop, designed to reduce the risk of damage to sensitive crops including cotton, resulting from off target spray drift. The approach is to allow growers to communicate the location of their crops by type to reduce the risk of off-target...

Minimising yield variability to maximise yield in a cotton farming system

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

The differences in cotton yield across different fields within one farm suggests variability in soil and/or management. This project addresses the many potential causes of yield variability and uses a multidisciplinary team from soil science (physics, chemistry, functionality and biology), plant pathology, agronomy and abiotic stress, economics and biometrics to...

Supporting Southern Cotton Production Systems: Cotton Research Officer

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

The aim of this project is to collect detailed plant and crop data from research trials being conducted in southern New South Wales in order to develop clear and quantified strategies and guidelines to optimise seedling establishment and improve cotton crop agronomy. This may include validation of current industry Best...

PhD: Utilising novel plant growth regulators to develop resilient future cotton systems

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This PhD project investigates the use of plant growth regulator (PGR) applications in assisting cotton plants become more efficient and resilient to abiotic stresses, and to deliver improvements in cotton yield and lint quality. It investigates relevant biochemical pathways of plant and crop responses to treatments, as well as agronomic...

A sprayable water barrier to line irrigation channels - Scoping Study

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

This scoping study conducted a literature review and engaged with water board authorities, grower organisations and individual growers to identify when and where losses occur in water distribution systems from source to scheme to farm and within farm. It estimated the cost of these losses and identified potential strategies to...

Optimising seedling emergence

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

A major factor limiting cotton yield in Southern New South Wales is the unpredictably cool start to the cotton growing season. This has a negative impact on growers' ability to establish a consistent plant stand within an optimum planting window that allows sufficient length of season to obtain high yields....

Trial to compare mechanical and chemical tactics for effective crop termination of herbicide tolerant cotton

Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC)

Control of cotton re-growth (ratoons) is a critical part of an insect resistance management plan, however the presence of GM tolerance to glyphosate reduces the options available to effectively control re- growth; the impending introduction of multi-herbicide tolerant cotton will further exacerbate the difficulties faced by farmers. Alternatives to standard...
