This report profiles the most highly ranked agroforestry species and subspecies identified by the initial FloraSearch selection and evaluation process described by Bennell et al. (2007). The majority of species profiled in this report are endemic to the lower rainfall region (i.e. 250-650 mm) of southeastern Australia. The report contains individual species statistics on rainfall and soil preferences, predictions of potential areas for cultivation based on climate variables, indicative growth rates, laboratory test results and illustrative photos for most species.
It is intended to provide rural landholders and potential large-scale biomass industries with more technical information on appropriate species selections using individual evaluations of each species’ suitability for each region and industry type.
This report is provided in two parts (Part I and Part II) because of size.
Maintaining optimal water quality is essential for the success of sea cucumber aquaculture. Inadequate water quality can lead to decreased production of cultured species and...
Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has potential for significant growth in Australia due to its wide range of sustainable credentials and uses. The benefits associated...
Globally, there are more than 70 species of exploited sea cucumber mainly from the genera Holothuria, Actinopyga, Bohadschia, Stichopus and Thelenota. Well-dried A-grade product (bêche-de-mer)...
This project delivered an Australian stingless native bee hive assembly, known as the Hive Haven V10, which efficiently and effectively produces a range of native...
Australian native bees play an important and often undervalued role pollinating plants and crops, many of which can’t be pollinated by introduced species. Forecast increased...
AgriFutures Australia has recognised the potential for significant growth of the industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) sector due to its wide range of sustainable applications...
For Asparagopsis seaweed production to become viable onshore, there is a need to source high-quality, low-cost nutrients. Treated waste streams could provide nutrient-rich media suitable...
There is growing interest in how to optimise the cultivation conditions for Asparagopsis spp., which are crucial for its commercial production and economic viability. However,...
