The research team aims to develop novel practices that will enhance the commercial cropping of table grapes in subtropical and tropical Australia (which is outside their traditional climate range) to boost yields and bring domestic fruit to market months earlier. The project is jointly funded by the Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia (CRCNA), table grape grower Fruitico, LIT and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD). It will be led by Associate Professor Michael Considine, who is an ARC Future Fellow at The LIT Institute of Agriculture and School of Molecular Sciences and a research scientist at DPIRD.
