Utilising pre-emergent herbicides in southern New South Wales grains and cotton cropping systems
Pre-emergent (residual) herbicides are becoming increasingly important in weed control strategies in southern NSW.
This fact sheet highlights the factors to consider when planning a pre-emergent herbicide program, specifically in the southern NSW context.
Enhanced efficiency fertilisers in cotton
One key method to improve fertiliser recovery and reduce losses is using Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF). EEFs contain a physical or chemical barrier that delays the release of nutrients into the surrounding environment. Find out more about the types of EEFs and the best time use them in cotton systems.
Utilising pre-emergent herbicides in Central Queensland grains and cotton cropping systems
Pre-emergent (residual) herbicides are becoming increasingly important in weed control strategies in Central Queensland.
Managing ramularia leaf spot (RLS) in cotton in Northern Australia
Ramularia leaf spot (RLS; grey mildew) in tropical cotton is a foliar disorder caused by Ramulariopsis sp. that can be easily identified by the presence of white to greyish spores on the underside of the leaf.
2024 Silverleaf whitefly sampling and thresholds
Rapid population growth of silverleaf whitefly (SLW) can occur from mid season onwards, particularly when natural enemies have been disrupted by insecticides. To reduce the amount of time required and help make SLW management more efficient, the recommendations for SLW sampling and thresholds have been simplified as of early 2024.

Cavitoma in Cotton
Cavitoma is a rare phenomenon which is not experienced often locally, however there have been several incidents reported in Australian cotton growing valleys in 2023.
Download your copy of this new fact sheet to find out more about Cavitoma in cotton, some of the causes and how it can affect your crop.
Economics of N management (June 2023)
Gross Margin risk analysis: nitrogen prices and NFUE
While there is little that can be done about the cost of nitrogen, growers can still manage their N input costs by looking at their nitrogen fertiliser use efficiency (NFUE).
This 2-page fact sheet from AgEcon produced for CottonInfo explains best practice in this space and what the current situation means for the cotton gross margin.
