1984年,CSIRO、昆士兰大学和昆士兰原料工业部的科学家们共同回顾了试验站管理局作物育种的主要活动,其中最重要的建议是:应将更多的品种放在有广泛土壤类型的农场进行试验,这样比通常长期在糖业实验站进行严格的选择效果要好。评论委员会因此建议在私人农场内建立一系列的试验分站,使在更广泛的条件下增加品种种植的数目。 In 1984, scientists at CSIRO, the University of Queensland and the Queensland Department of Raw Materials reviewed the main activities of the pilot station crop breeding, the most important of which was that more varieties should be placed on farms with a wide range of soil types Test, which is better than the usual long-term choice in the sugar industry experimental station to better effect. The commencing Committee therefore recommended that a series of pilot substations should be set up in private farms to increase the number of cultivars under wider conditions.
