This report describes the extent and distribution of Eucalyptus globulus, Pinus pinaster and Pinus radiata roots in the soil of agricultural land adjacent to tree lines. The influence of soil type and root pruning on root morphology is discussed. Soil water content and soil chemical characteristics are documented and discussed in light of the proximity to trees. The availability of this information will improve the understanding of how tree roots affect crop growth and aid in the development of competition management strategies which maximise the goals of crop production, water use and tree growth.
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,...
