Silviculture (the growing and tending of trees in agroforestry) models currently used in industrial forestry are not very helpful because many of the assumptions inherent in them do not apply to a lot of common situations.
This research describes a new model called AGGRO, specifically designed for farm forestry applications. It provides indicative yields for a range of farm forestry scenarios. It is informed by the many valuable silvicultural experiments conducted in Australia, and passes this wealth of information onto small growers. It aims to remove some of the uncertainty impeding the adoption of farm forestry, and make it possible for land managers to consider tree growing as an economic part of the farm enterprise.
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,...
