Checking for cotton stickiness made simple.

Supporting informed weed management decisions that protect herbicide effectiveness for the long term.

The cotton industry Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy (IRMS) seeks to manage the risk of resistance in all major pests of cotton.

Black root rot can be a significant problem in cooler growing regions. Affected crops may be slow growing or stunted early in the season which can delay in the onset of flowering.

Siphonless irrigation systems have evolved as cotton growers adapt irrigation designs, layouts and management to improve productivity and resource efficiency.

Smart irrigation technologies are increasingly being adopted by cotton growers for labour and water efficiency gains and lifestyle benefits.

Fusarium wilt is caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp vasinfectum (Fov). Symptoms are often associated with plant stress, including water-logging, root damage and unfavourable growing conditions.

Cotton stickiness caused by excess sugars on cotton fibre, either from the plant itself (physiological sugars) or from insects (entomological sugars).

This fact sheet includes a table to assist growers and consultants in Northern Australia to select a desired crop maturity date and then manage for cut-out accordingly.

Verticillium wilt is a soil‑borne disease that can cause significant cotton yield losses, particularly under cool, wet conditions and in later‑maturing crops. It is widespread across NSW and parts of Queensland and can be difficult to diagnose in the field.
