Maximising the essential oil yield of blue mallee plantations

Felton、Grimwade和Bickford Pty Ltd将与我们合作开发植物材料和方法，以建立用于生产桉树油的蓝色Mallee(多枝桉树)的有利可图的种植园。这一点很重要，因为由于最近的立法，目前用于石油生产的林地不久将无法用于该公司。我们还将研究蓝马利油质量和数量的生理生化机制。从长远来看，这种知识将有助于该行业改进和修改其产品，以应对市场需求的变化。

Felton, Grimwade and Bickford Pty Ltd will collaborate with us to develop plant material and methods for establishing profitable plantations of blue mallee (Eucalyptus polybractea) for eucalyptus oil production. This is important because, as a result of recent legislation, the forest patches currently used in oil production will soon be unavailable to the company. We will also investigate the physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying oil quality and quantity in blue mallee. This knowledge will assist the industry in the longer term by allowing them to improve and modify their products in response to changes in market demands.
