UTILITY OF BIOTECHNOLOGY BASED DECISION MAKING TOOLS IN POSTHARVEST GRAIN PEST MANAGEMENT: AN AUSTRALIAN CASE STUDY

Utility of biotechnology based decision making tools in postharvest grain pest management: An Australian case study

A major concern for the Australian grain industry in recent years is the constant threat of resistance to the key disinfestant phosphine in a range of stored grain pests.The need NEM to maintain the usefulness of phosphine and to contain the development of resistance are critical to international market access for Australian grain.Strong levels of

The influence of elevated CO2 and soil depth on rhizosphere activity and nutrient availability in a mature Eucalyptus woodland

Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) in the atmosphere increases forest biomass productivity but only where soil nutrients, particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), are not limiting growth.eCO2, in turn, can impact rhizosphere nutrient availability.Our current understanding of nutrient cycling under eCO2 is mainly derived from surface soil, leaving
