This report was prepared as part of a nationwide cooperative project, which aimed to summarise the
national knowledge base on clear wood production in eucalypts. This report collates literature, both
from Australia and internationally, and recent information on eucalypt plantation silviculture from
unpublished research and field experience.
Silvicultural techniques such as pruning, are used by growers to produce logs with a high proportion
of clear wood suitable for high value end uses. However, there is little information available to
growers on how best to apply such techniques to eucalypts. This report summaries the research
results to date thereby providing a basis for the development of species and regional specific pruning
regimes by growers and advisers and helping to direct future silvicultural research in planted
eucalypts.
This project was funded by three R&D Corporations — RIRDC, Land & Water Australia and
FWPRDC. These Corporations are funded principally by the Federal Government.
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...

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...

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,...
