To obtain a better understanding of the growth and yield of agroforestry Eucalyptus species, the Joint Venture Agroforestry Program (RIRDC/LWRRDC/FWPRDC) commissioned the project, “Forecasting tree growth and yield and financial returns of key agroforestry species across southern Australia”. This project was designed to:
• improve the reliability of forecasting tree growth and yield of key agroforestry species on cleared agricultural land across southern Australia, by developing height, basal area and volume predictions according to grouped site productivity classes;
• investigate relationships between tree growth rates and site factors, and construct mathematical models of tree growth which could be incorporated into financial models such as FARMTREE; and
• improve landholders’ knowledge of the relative economic returns and benefits from adopting different agroforestry regimes.
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,...
