Vanuatu sandalwood: growers’ guide for sandalwood production in Vanuatu
Publication Code:
MN151
Price:
$25.00
ACIAR has supported research into the growing and marketing of sandalwood in Vanuatu. This guide provides practical advice on how to grow sandalwood, including site and host selection, spacing, weeding, disease management, pruning and harvesting. Sandalwood’s high value and small size make it unique among forestry trees in that it can be incorporated into smaller ornamental gardens as well as larger commercial plantings. This guide will help the people of Vanuatu and other Pacific island countries to participate in this lucrative rural industry.
Nitrogen fixation in acacias

MN098
Price:
$20.00
ACIAR has supported a project that helps develop domestication strategies for commercially important indigenous tree species in Southeast Asia
Fruits of Oceania
Publication Code:
MN085
Price:
$50.00
This book covers the woody species, which cultivated or wild, produce the great majority of fleshy and non-fleshy fruits of the Pacific.
Nutrient disorders in plantation eucalypts
Publication Code:
MN074
Price:

A visual guide to nutritional disorders of tropical timber species: Swietenia macrophylla and Cedrela ordorata
Publication Code:
MN061
Price:
$54.00
The recognition of symptoms on leaves and stems which result from nutritional disorders is a powerful tool in determining nutritional constraints to the growth of trees, especially when little other nutritional information is available
Management of soil, nutrition and water in tropical plantation forests

Growing trees on salt-affected land
Publication Code:
IAS051
Salinity and waterlogging are significant problems in a wide range of agricultural areas throughout the world. It has been found that some Australian species, including species in the genera Eucalyptys and Acacia, have adapted to thrive in these conditions. Bioremediation using such trees has often been suggested as a potentially lower-cost alternative to physical methods, however adoption has not been high. This is probably due to the development costs and relatively long investment periods before seeing a return.
Minimising impacts of fungal disease of eucalypts in South-East Asia
Publication Code:
IAS049
Eucalypt species are relatively free of pests and diseases when introduced into new environments, which has led to large areas under plantation throughout the world. However as the plantation areas increase so does the threat of pest and disease introduction. This ACIAR project found new genetic material with enhanced disease resistance. It also used climatic modelling to identify high disease-risk regions.
