Emerald Soil and Nutrition Workshop: Key Learnings

Nitrogen Use Efficiency – Key Learnings

One of the most valuable insights from the Soil and Nutrition workshop held in Emerald in June 2025 was the importance of treating the cause of poor nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) not just the symptoms. High nitrogen rates and low efficiency often stem from reactive management. Long-term soil health and nitrogen efficiency improve when we focus on what’s really behind poor NUE.

2025 Australian Cotton Production Manual

The Australian Cotton Production Manual is published by CRDC and CottonInfo and is updated to incorporate the latest research and consistent improvements in industry best practice.

A critical reference tool for growers, the Manual is developed to offer a ‘one-stop-shop’ guide to growers. It outlines all the necessary conditions in preparation for, and during, cotton production in Australia and also offers an understanding of cotton physiology and the important considerations for both productivity and profitability.
