Enhancing grower groups in the Australian sugar industry : final report BSS287
(2007) Allsopp, PG
Self-directed and self-funded grower groups in other Australian agricultural industries have demonstrated that participative R&D and action-learning processes can deliver knowledge, attitude and practice change at faster rates than conventional extension methods. Australian sugar-industry productivity groups have been slow to adopt these processes and concepts. The project aimed to establish and assist a pilot grower group that could demonstrate and communicate to the broader industry the issues and benefits of participative R&D, action learning, and group incorporation and self-funding.
Risk to the Australian Sugar Industry from exotic pests : SRDC final report BSS175
(BSES, 1999) FitzGibbon, F; Allsopp, PG; De Barro, PJ
This project aimed to develop a pest risk analysis on likely sugarcane pest introductions and pest incursion management plan. Assessments in the risk analysis detail the likely sources of introduction and the best strategies for minimising their impact once they become established. The management plan sets out the activities and responsibilities for dealing with an incursion. These will allow the best use of limited resources and will maximise the early success in treating new introductions.
