Checking for cotton stickiness made simple.

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

The latest information to support informed, cost-effective and responsible pest management decisions.

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.

This guide aims to provide an overview on cotton classification and covers details on factors that can impact fibre quality, how fibre quality properties are measured and what the requirements are in terms of laboratory layout and practices.

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.
