Wheat in subtropical Asia is a potential minor crop although consistently high yields have not yet been achieved.

High levels of mycotoxin are hazardous to human and animal health

Enormous changes have occurred in Vietnam since 1990

Groundwater contamination has been linked to intensive agriculture in many industrialised countries in temperate regions

Coconut embryo culture has many applications, foremost of which is in the facilitation of germplasm movement

This publication examines the issues involved in the effective application of biotechnology in ACIAR-funded programs

This report describes results from industrial tree plantation research trials at Teluk Sirih on Pulau Laut, Kalimantan Selatan, Indonesia, where the performance of several eucalypts and acacia species was measured under a range of treatments on land made unproductive by colonisation of Imperata grass (Imperata cylindrica)

There are already instances of successful introduction of ruminants into Southeast Asia's rubber, oil palm and coconut plantations, in ways that enable more intensive use of these areas

These proceedings examine the issues behind Indonesia's dried fish industry and prospects for improving the quality of dried fish

Vietnam is striving to increase its agricultural production, but gains in productivity are offset by large postharvest losses

These proceedings came from a workshop in Ubon, Thailand, designed to review current research and identify future research opportunities in the areas of soil organic matter dynamics and nutrient cycling in tropical and temperate regions -- topics already included in ACIAR projects that have attempted to assist smallholders to manage their lands by improving soil fertility and reducing soil losses

The northern provinces of China where the land is suitable only for grazing livestock supports approximately 100 million sheep based on Merino types originally from Russia and Australia

Mycorrhizal associations are an integral part of natural and managed forests

OUT OF STOCK These proceedings provide an update on progress with research on multipurpose trees in general and leucaena in particular. They include details on priorities for future research and the establishment of LEUCNET, the international network to promote leucaena research and development worldwide.

Styrax tonkinensis is a fast growing tropical species that occurs naturally in the forests of northern Laos and Vietnam, but is also cultivated in plantations

Twenty-nine species of rodents have been identified as having economic importance in Southeast Asia

This report is the result of a workshop held in Melbourne in March 1994, which aimed to define research and development priorities for faba beans at a regional, national and international level
