Soil Function in Varied Pasture Systems
Dairy Australia
The objective of this project is to highlight differences in soil function across varied pasture systems by investigating the impact of reduced nitrogen inputs and species composition on nitrogen dynamics, carbon changes, soil biology, and root architecture. It also seeks to understand the mechanisms driving changes in soil properties resulting...

Lumpy Skin Disease Transmission Studies in Milk
Dairy Australia
Through a series of planned experiments, undertaken through the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP/CSIRO), this project shall ascertain if pasteurisation controls the LSD pathogen in milk post farm collection. The results of these studies shall inform policy development with overseas trading partners.

Pan design and operational changes to suit Australian pan stages operating on low pressure vapour
Sugar Research Australia (SRA)
For the Australian sugar industry to substantially increase revenue from bagasse through cogeneration, biofuels or animal feeds, the pan stages during milling must operate effectively on low pressure vapour to reduce the steam consumption to below 35 per cent on cane. Currently the lowest steam consumption in Australian factories is...

Developing an integrated device for on-farm detection of sugarcane diseases
Sugar Research Australia (SRA)
Pathogens cause yield losses in the Australian sugarcane industry of more than $150m p/a. Currently disease detection and identification methods are lengthy and labour intensive. The ability to rapidly confirm pathogens’ presence in-field would greatly enhance surveillance capabilities and biosecurity, leading to better control of associated diseases such as ratoon...

Biorefineries for Profit Phase 3
Sugar Research Australia (SRA)
Delivering the vision of an Australian agricultural sector with a farmgate value of $100 billion by 2030 requires improved productivity and better integration of crop and livestock production. Sugarcane is Australia’s largest harvested crop and is a stable but untapped source of fibre for livestock. Transformation of sugarcane bagasse into...
