Over 80% of wild macadamia trees in Australia have been lost since 1788 due to threats like habitat clearing, fragmentation, and altered fire regimes. The four wild macadamia species that are endemic to Australia are now all threatened and listed as such in the IUCN Red List. In response, the Macadamia Conservation Trust was established in 2007 to help conserve and recover wild macadamia populations through activities like surveys, germplasm collection, and a recovery plan. The Trust's vision is to ensure healthy wild macadamia populations by working with partners, raising public awareness, and contributions from the Australian macadamia industry.

The document discusses how light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology can be used to map farm properties and gain insights into variations in slope, elevation, soil types, drainage, tree locations and heights. LIDAR provides detailed 3D maps that show spatial differences across farms and can be used to analyze impacts on crop yields from factors like elevation and slope. While LIDAR data tiles can be purchased from state government departments, the costs for mapping a single farm typically start at $600.Jacqui Price - Innovation - new product launches

1. The document discusses the use of Ethrel to break the macadamia cropping cycle on a farm in Northern Rivers, Australia.
2. Using Ethrel allows the farm to harvest their macadamia crop over 3 months rather than 6 months, reducing harvesting costs significantly.
3. Breaking the continuous cropping cycle also helps reduce pest pressure on the farm as it breaks the food source cycle for insects. The farm has not had to apply insecticides since starting the use of Ethrel in 2008. Bruce Topp - The opportunities

Knockrow Macadamias farm saw high variability in yields across its 35.2 hectare orchard with 11,000 trees. Through block measurements, the farm identified key areas with yield problems including bare soil, root exposure, drainage issues, and tree decline. To address these issues, the farm covered tree roots, improved drainage, reduced soil compaction, increased compost usage, and reduced weed spraying. These changes led to vastly improved soil health and increased feeder root growth, resulting in significant yield increases across all blocks from 2005 to 2014.Lynne Ziehlke - Consumer research project - China

Results showed that open canopies harbored more beneficial insects and fewer pests, led to increased nut production, lower levels of fruitspotting bug damage, but did not affect predation of fruitspotting bug eggs.Dean Metcalf - Biological control of Husk Spot

This document summarizes research on using biological control agents to control Husk Spot, a fungal disease of macadamia nuts. Several Trichoderma and Gliocladium fungal isolates were collected and tested for their ability to antagonize the Husk Spot pathogen Botrytis cinerea. The most promising isolates (MC21, MC29, MC32, MC90) will be field tested at different application rates and timings to develop a commercial biocontrol product called "Macanizer" to control Husk Spot without chemicals.Ad
