Rice growing in tropical Australia
1987
Barnes, J. E.
Rice growing in tropical Australia began around 1869 but was sporadic for 100 years. The past 20 years have seen growth to more than 4000 ha, mostly flooded, in Queensland. Yields average 5 t/ha, with 90% going to the domestic market at a premium price. Most rice research has catered to a highly mechanized industry. Current research thrusts and research needs are discussed, as well as possible developments in the industry. By 1990 an additional 15000-20000 ha is expected to be opened in the Burdekin Irrigation Area of Queensland.
