Charles Sturt University has received a $2.7 million grant to build new grains research glasshouses and plant growth chambers at its Wagga Wagga campus in south-west New South Wales.
The grant is part of a $15m national research infrastructure programme developed by Australia’s biggest grains research organisation, the Grains Research and Development Corporation.
CSU will contribute $300,000 to the project, bringing the total allocation for the new facilities to $3m.
