Increasing the recovery of high grade material is a primary objective of improving the
profitability of growing trees for sawn products. Stiffness is the major basis of machine
stress grading of sawn timber, and has a major influence on price. It is not a parameter,
however, that is readily measured in logs or standing trees. Derivation of a surrogate
indicator for stiffness would facilitate more effective planning and permit effective log
sorting, while also providing a valuable tool for breeders and silviculturists working with
standing trees.
This study examined the relationship between stiffness and acoustic properties measured
with a variety of stress wave timer tools, for both Eucalyptus dunnii and Pinus radiata.
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,...
