This RIRDC report is about improving the practice of direct sowing Australian native plants into agricultural landscapes, with a focus on potentially commercial woody species. This is important as Australia urgently requires more robust and lower cost methods of establishing woody perennials into low rainfall agricultural areas.
The direct sowing of new woody crops may have merit as a low cost establishment method, though there has not been a systematic attempt do develop robust agricultural seeding systems for these woody crops. Low cost establishment is critical to a broader national agenda to efficiently roll out perennial vegetation into an increasingly arid agricultural landscape.
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...
