Enhancing the essential oil yield of clonal blue mallee plantations

在维多利亚州生产高质量的桉树油需要从公共土地上可持续地收获树叶。维多利亚州政府最近对土地使用情况进行的一项审查要求，在接下来的几年里，石油生产商将其收获作业转移到私人土地上的种植园。该项目将通过开发建立桉树种植园的方法来帮助生产者，这些桉树种植园具有非常高的和经济上可行的桉树油产量。这项研究将有助于恢复维多利亚州作为优质桉树油主要生产商之一的地位。

Production of high quality eucalyptus oil in Victoria involves sustainable harvesting of foliage from public land. A recent review of land use by the Victorian Government has required that, over the next few years, oil producers move their harvesting operations into plantations on private land. This project will assist producers by developing methods for establishing plantations of eucalypts (blue mallee) with very high and economically viable yields of eucalyptus oil. This research will help restore Victoria's position as one of the major producers of high quality eucalyptus oil.
