Proceedings

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.

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.

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.

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.
