Abstract
- The article assessed the rainfall use efficiency of dryland cotton in Australia by plotting the yield data for all regions in the seasons 1995-96 and 2007-08 against summer rainfall. It reveals that dryland cotton produced 0.51 bales for each megalitre (100 mm) of summer rain on average and that dryland yield is increasing at the same rate as irrigated cotton. The increase in efficiency through time and the dryland cotton's productivity during the recent drought are also noted.
