Combining better genetics with improved agronomy, modern Australian cotton growers now use 40 per cent less water to produce one tonne of cotton lint than 10-15 years ago.
Approximately 80 percent of a future NT cotton industry is estimated to be rain-fed farming systems, also known as dryland farming. The remaining 20 percent likely to be supplemented with irrigation due to variable nature of rainfall which uses around 2-3 mega litres water per ha as opposed to full irrigation which uses 6-7 mega litres per hectare.
