• A decision support system for maximising profit from nutrient management of mid-rotation radiata pine

  Applying fertilisers to pine plantations after thinning could substantially increase the quality and quantity of wood harvested. This study assessed a range of fertiliser types, spreading rate... Read More

• Active genetic conservation and utilisation of native radiata pine germplasm

  Maintaining genetic diversity and conserving forest genetic resources are critical to forest sustainability, ecosystem stability and species’ continued adaptation and survival. This project wi... Read More

• Breeding Radiata Pine to Maximise Profit from Solid Wood Production: Summary Report

  To develop breeding objectives for pine solid wood production this project defined the production system for pine solid wood production; defined breeding objectives through literature review a... Read More

• Breeding Radiata Pine to Maximise Profits by Incorporating Risk Traits

  Australian radiata pine plantations are at risk of being badly affected by a changing climate that will bring more droughts as well as change the distribution and severity of a number of disea... Read More

• Improving wood stiffness through microfibril angle: Summary

  This project investigated ways of breeding radiata pine to improve solid wood stiffness through changes in microfibril angle (MfA). Earlier work suggests that wood stiffness depends on microfi... Read More

• Quality assurance of radiata pine pedigree, for more productive Aussie forests

  Decades worth of data underpins a tool developed to help Australian growers select radiata pine trees based on attributes associated with their pedigree that make them suitable for the conditi... Read More

• Species and Treatment Corrections for hand-held moisture meters with radiata and slash pine

  This research aimed to generate new species and CCA preservative treatment (to H3 level) corrections for P. radiata (radiata pine) and P. elliottii (slash pine); determine the overall reliabil... Read More

• The durability of isocyanate-based adhesives under service in Australian conditions. The results from a 3 year exposure study and accelerated testing regime (Literature Review)

  This project focused on the performance of isocyanate-based adhesives (IBAs) used to bond Australian wood species in Australian conditions. IBAs are an alternative to phenolic-based adhesives ... Read More

• The effects of genetic improvement on radiata pine wood density

  Density is a key wood quality trait and has been the focus of selective breeding efforts in radiata pine. The aim of this Scion study was to quantify realised genetic gain in radiata pine wood... Read More

• Western Australian Softwood Resource Evaluation: a survey of key characteristics of the Pinus radiata and Pinus pinaster resources in Western Australia with links to product performance of trees sampled from each resource, as determined by a processing st

  Wood properties such as strength and stiffness can vary considerably between trees in plantations, and this variation is expected to become greater as plantations are harvested at younger ages... Read More
