Australian cotton growers will shortly have a best practices portfolio (or manual) Initially the portfolio will contain a module that focuses on practices designed to minimise the impact of pesticides on the riverine environment. The topics intendedto be covered in this module are farm design, soil and water management, integrated pest management and application of pesticides. This is a reflection of the original impetus for the development of the manual. Further modules will be produced covering issues such as occupational health and safety, legislation, property management planning, disease and weed control.
