Energy crops in Australia: cassava

Experimental yields indicate that cassava is a potential ethanol source for northern Australia. Climatic and soil constraints have not yet been clearly defined, but it is probable that production areas would be limited to coastal Queensland and its tropical hinterland. Agricultural systems which involve a high degree of mechanisation and are suited to the economic environment of Australia have been developed. Current problems of pests and diseases are identified (a).
