During the Covid-19 hiatus between conferences, some of our members with shorter projects (early career and student members) took the opportunity to present their work to the Association.
View the seminar recordings:
August 2022: Lucy Egan of CSIRO discusses host plant resistance and the Australian cotton breeding program.
July 2022: Dinesh Kafle of DAF discusses reniform nematode and his glasshouse trials on yield impacts and management tools.
June 2022: A/Prof Willem Vervoort of the University of Sydney discusses a project on developing satellite-based observation tools for water balance components.
April 2022: Jacki Schirmer of the University of Canberra discusses social and wellbeing indicators for Australia’s cotton industry.
December 2021: Tiemen Rhebergen of CSIRO discusses the Northern Territory’s cotton trials and APSIM-Ozcot modelling and validation relevant to northern Australia.
November 2021: Meredith Conaty of CRDC discusses nutrient redistribution in high yielding cotton.
October 2021: Blake Palmer of NSW DPI examines how different soil tillage and crop rotation practices influenced micronutrient stratification and decline in Vertosols.
September 2021: Viv Rolland of CSIRO discusses machine learning and modelling of cotton leaf hairiness (a key trait involved in in yield and insect resistance).
August 2021: Patrick Filippi of NSW DPI discusses creating empirical models of site- and season-specific cotton yield potential to identify within-field yield gaps and using novel interpretive machine learning approaches to identify the main constraint to cotton yield at each location within a field.
July 2021: Duy Le of NSW DPI discusses the diversity of black root rot and Alternaria leaf spot pathogens of cotton.
June 2021: Jon Baird of NSW DPI considers the effect of irrigation and nitrogen management on modern Australian cotton cultivars.
May 2021: Heidi Kolkert of UNE reveals the value of bats to the cotton industry.
April 2021: David Perović of NSW DPI discusses the importance of benchmarking cotton sustainability indicators for water.
February 2021: James Latimer of CSIRO and ANU discusses the soil nitrogen preferences of commercial cotton.
December 2020: Claire Welsh of CSIRO discusses the potential of plant growth regulators in promoting resilience in variable rain grown cotton systems.
October 2020: Aphrika Gregson of NSW DPI discusses how she utilised GFP-tagged V. dahliae as a tool in the study of plant-pathogen interactions. Connect with Aphrika on Twitter.
September 2020: Dr Dean Brookes of UQ discusses how DNA biomonitoring is a rapidly developing field of modern genomics that makes use of recent advances in DNA sequencing technology, and some potential applications in agricultural systems.
August 2020: Dr Alison McCarthy of USQ discusses advances in using technology to assess cotton growth by analysing visual data.
