NOTICE: Hard copies of the Australian New Crops Newsletter are available from the publisher, Dr Rob Fletcher. Details of availability are included in the
Advice on Publications Available.A survey of Australian readers of the Australian New Crops Newsletter was conducted in mid to late 1994. Responses from 376 readers were reported in Issue 3: 2-5.
Subsequently, all respondents who had expressed an interest in, or had reported some experience with, any particular species or groups of species of new crop were contacted again. On this second occasion, these respondents were asked whether they wished to be included in a Directory of New Crop Workers in Australia.
As a result, the following Directory has been produced. It has been presented in this form to invite comment as to the most suitable manner in which to present this information. Revisions and inclusions to the Directory from any interested persons are welcomed and should be forwarded (by fax or mail, preferably) to Dr Rob Fletcher.
Crops of interest are identified by the code 'Int' and the codes refer to the list of botanical names, below; crops with which new crop workers have had some experience (good or bad) are identified as 'Exp'.
