Question Title

* 5. Please comment on the factors affecting your confidence?

Question Title

  Little to no influence on seasonal N management Some influence on seasonal N management A high level of influence on N management
Agronomist / crop consultant (if you are a farmer)
Retail agronomist
Own experience / records
Industry research & recommendations / industry best practice guides
Peer group

Question Title

* 8. Please provide any comments about the usefulness of industry resources in informing your N management (i.e Australian Cotton Production Manual, myBMP soil health, NUTRIpak, Soilpak, CottonInfo youTubes etc).

Question Title

* 12. How closely do you think that your above N practices align to industry best practice (right product, right rate, right timing, right place) that seeks to maximise production while minimising N losses?

0 = Does not align at all 50 = Moderate alignment 100 = Perfectly aligns with best practice

Maximises cotton NFUE (kg lint per kg N)
Minimises environmental impacts

Question Title

Question Title

* 17. Any comments about cotton's yield response to N?

Question Title

* 18. On balance would you prefer to risk putting on too much or too little N? Why?

Question Title

* 19. To what extent are your whole farm management decisions driven by:

  Answer
Profit
Environmental considerations
Other (please specify driver in comments)

Question Title

* 20. Where are the key N management gaps that that should be prioritised for research?

Question Title

* 21. Thinking at a whole farm level over the next 3 years how much of a priority is improving your cotton nitrogen management?

0 - not at all important 100 - a top priority
