Maximising on-farm irrigation profitability project

The project has two components: an agronomy component that will assess the impact of varying surface irrigation management strategies (scheduling and frequency) on nitrogen use efficiency, water use efficiency and overall system profitability; and a hydrology component that will develop irrigation design criteria that will allow precise application of water in basin irrigation layouts, such as bankless channel systems, allowing flexible management to match recommendations from the project’s agronomy component.

Southern cotton seedling thrips species composition

Understanding thrips species composition during cotton establishment in the southern cotton production region is important in accessing the validity of the cotton industry thrips spray thresholds and recommendations

The influence of nitrogen fertiliser rate and irrigation management on crop nitrogen uptake, lint yield and apparent fertiliser recovery in subsurface drip irrigated cotton

This research aimed to identify the impact of irrigation opportunity time and fertiliser N rates on fertiliser N response, lint yield and fertiliser N recovery in a sub-surface drip irrigation system.

Thrips threshold validation – commercial-scale experiments

These experiments were conducted to evaluate whether thrips controls applied at the thrips threshold led to higher or lower yields when compared with treatments at a lower threshold (one thrips per plant) and a non-spray treatment. The local cotton industry supported commercialscale experiments over small plot experiments.
