    What is it all about?

    This project supports a PhD scholarship within the One Basin CRC PhD program to investigate how the Australian pistachio industry can better manage the impacts of warmer winters and reduced chill accumulation. 

    The research will explore innovative approaches to improving bud burst, productivity and yield, helping growers adapt to climate change and maintain the long-term sustainability of pistachio production in the Murray–Darling Basin.
