Proceedings of the Helen Newton Turner Memorial International Workshop held in Pune, Maharashtra, India, 10–12 November 2008. The workshop was the conclusion of ACIAR projects that entailed more than a decade of research in India on improved meat sheep production.

This publication, in the ACIAR Proceedings series, is a compilation of papers presented at the International Symposium on Spiny Lobster Aquaculture that was held at Nha Trang, Vietnam in December 2008.

These proceedings are a collection of papers presented at an international conference of 102 village poultry researchers and animal health specialists from eastern, southern and western Africa, South-East Asia, Europe and Oceania, in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, October 2005. The proceedings showcase the background, methodology and results of the AusAID-funded Southern Africa Newcastle Disease Control Project.

A symposium was organised in November 2006 in the Philippines, to provide an opportunity for bamboo researchers to present their findings. The peer-reviewed papers contained herein provide an opportunity to fully report on the research.

These proceedings are a compilation of research papers presented at a workshop in Vientiane on foot-and-mouth disease and classical swine fever, which continue to be a problem for livestock producers.

These proceedings provide a summary of the research outputs of work in Vietnam to assess the significance of a biofertiliser called BioGro, which provides significant benefits for the growth and yield of rice.

The proceedings of a workshop on permanent raised beds for irrigated rice–wheat and alternative cropping systems.

These proceedings report on an international workshop held in Kupang, in April 2006, to identify opportunities and constraints to improving livelihoods in East Nusa Tenggara using an integrated rural development approach, and to discuss directions for future activities.

Peanuts are an important cash crop for many smallholder farmers in Papua New Guinea.

Fast-growing hardwood plantations are increasingly important to the economies of many countries around the Pacific rim. However fungal heart rot and root rot are impacting on the industry.

ACIAR has supported collaborative research on water management in agriculture in China for more than 15 years.

The objective of this workshop on disease resistance in fruit was to review recent research on non-chemical control of fruit diseases, with particular emphasis on utilisation and enhancement of constitutive or inducible host defence mechanisms.

Permanent raised bed cropping systems are being adopted under a wide range of irrigated and dryland farming conditions.

This publication presents extended abstracts of the papers presented to a workshop held in Nadi, Fiji 28-31 October 1996

A review of options for monitoring and minimising the contamination of agricultural produce and the environment by pesticide residues, while maintaining the benefits of pesticide use for agricultural production

Treatments which extend storage life by reducing disease and delaying ripening are essential if tropical fruit are to be shipped to distant markets

Tropical spiny lobsters, and particularly the ornate lobster Panulirus ornatus, are a valuable resource for most countries bordering the South China Sea

(Available electronically only) This publication brings together most of the papers presented at a five day workshop held in Vanuatu in 1994

Until recently, mud crabs have only been reared from stock captured from the natural environment, in those countries where they are being farmed

Progressing beyond self-sufficiency, whether at the farm or national level, requires the capacity for reliable production and profitable marketing of products sought by consumers

The papers in this book come from an ACIAR project to develop sustainable animal and cropping systems in southern Africa

This is an end-of-project workshop proceedings with contributions from Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America, focusing on improving capabilities in crop modelling for tropical cropping systems
