Scientific breeding in the twentieth century greatly accelerated wheat's evolution, producing high-yielding varieties that helped avoid famine in many developing countries. Emerging scientific tools hold promise for identifying and tapping new, useful genetic diversity within wheat's primary and secondary gene pools and, through genetic engineering, beyond.

Diseases of Fruit Crops in Australia covers important diseases affecting the broad range of fruit and nut crops grown throughout Australia.

A weed identification guide for farmers and extension workers in the upland cropping systems of Cambodia. Sponsored by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, the NSW Department of Primary Industries, and the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute. This book is part of a series of publications produced by ACIAR in support of the on-going rollout of on-farm demonstrations for upland crops in Cambodia.

This book is part of a series of publications produced by ACIAR in support of the on-going roll-out of on-farm demonstrations for upland crops in Cambodia.

In response to the Royal Cambodian Government’s National Poverty Reduction Strategy (2003–2005), ACIAR funded research to develop sustainable farming systems for crops. The aim was to help reduce poverty and contribute to food security at household and national levels through the development of technologies and opportunities for the production of non-rice upland crops. This book is part of a series of publications produced by ACIAR in support of the on-going rollout of onfarm demonstrations for upland crops in Cambodia.

This manual describes husbandry practices and biosecurity measures for village chickens that can be implemented using locally available resources in developing countries.

The Australian aid program has been working with the landcare movement in the Philippines for 10 years, encouraging farmers and their communities to take control of their own problems and to implement appropriate solutions. This book provides practical guidelines for all those involved in this important role.

This is the Khmer translation of MN137, a book for primary school children for use in the ‘Life Skills’ part of the Cambodian School curriculum. It will teach children about integrated pest management (IPM) in crops and the positive impact on the environment.

A Khmer language publication on rice in Cambodia, including the history of rice cultivation, and all stages rice production management - from breeding to market.

Nitrogen is one of the key drivers of global agricultural production, with between 150 and 200 million tonnes required each year to produce the world’s food, animal feed and industrial products. Improving the efficiency with which Nitrogen is used in world agriculture is vital to the long-term sustainability of the planet, as gaseous losses contribute to global warming, and leaching and erosion losses to the degradation of watercourses and storages.

Outcomes of the ‘Papua New Guinea, Pacific Islands and Northern Australia Sea Cucumber Fisheries Management Workshop’, held at Motupore Island Research Centre, Papua New Guinea, 20–23 March 2006.

A best management production manual aimed at the wide spectrum of industry stakeholders interested in growing and marketing peanuts in PNG. It is designed to assist agricultural researchers, extension people, smallholder producers, agricultural consultants and commercial producers by providing information on best management practices that will improve peanut productivity and quality.

This monograph addresses the knowledge gaps in the genetics, immunology, epidemiology and control of liver fluke disease.

A guide to the pests and diseases of taro in the South Pacific.

This is the Indonesian translation of MN131, a booklet that addresses knowledge gaps in cocoa production. New management approaches, based on sound agronomic practices and integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) strategies, have been developed to assist farmers to optimise their cocoa production. Farmers can expect significantly higher yields if these approaches are implemented completely and correctly.

This book describes a decision-support framework called the Soil Constraints and Management Package (SCAMP).

A guide to maize production in Cambodia, produced jointly by the NSW Department of Primary Industries, Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute and ACIAR.
