Transformational crop protection - Innovative RNAi biopesticides for management of sugarcane root feeding pests

This project aims to deliver proof-of concept for delivering RNA biopesticides as an innovative non-GM, non-toxic, ecologically safe topical application for the control of canegrubs as serious pests of sugarcane. It will involve identification of the best target genes for RNAi based biopesticides for both cane grubs and soldier fly and testing the RNAi based biopesticides in feeding assays /glasshouse against canegrubs.

Environmental risk assessment and life cycle assessment of raw sugar manufacturing

Life cycle assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impacts in all stages of a product's life, from raw material through processing, manufacture, distribution and use. This project will design a new LCA to reflect the impact of the raw sugar value chain, to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure the industry's social licence to operate.

On ground testing and modelling of the effectiveness of enhanced efficiency Fertilisers in the Wet Tropics catchments of the Great Barrier Reef

This project aims to improve knowledge of when and where the use of enhanced efficiency fertilisers (EEFs) in place of urea will both reduce the amount of nitrogen lost through leaching and run-off and result in agro-economic benefits for growers.
