Management options and species evaluation to increase productivity in dieback affected pastures - PHASE II

Pasture dieback is a condition that causes the death of sown and native pastures by affecting plant health and function, reducing productivity. By continuing work to evaluate new practices for the control of pasture dieback, and feed options for livestock, this project will help ensure the productivity and profitability of red meat enterprises in affected regions of Queensland.

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.
