This project formed part of an integrated program with GRDC and ICARDA to introduce Lathyrus and Vicia to the wheat belt of Western Australia.
Australian agriculture has drawn heavily on germplasm from the Mediterranean basin. For example, many farming systems are based on subterranean clover, the annual medics and lupins, all of which come from the region. Subterranean clover and lupins are well adapted to sandy soils of low pH and the medics to fine textured soils of high pH. However, we recognise that there is a need for pulses in particular, for fine textured soils of low to high pH. It is this niche to which Lathyrus seems well adapted.
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,...
