The university completed the 2017 Academic year with a high note even though financial challenge was hurting the normal operations of the university. The Research Report 2017 contains the research priorities aligned with “Unitech 2030” and national priority areas, ongoing and completed research, publications, national and overseas conference attendance by the academic staff from the 13 academic departments. During 2017, a total of 68 peer reviewed research articles were published in reputed international and national journals compared to 55 in 2016. This shows the strong commitment and resilience of the faculty members to research and publications despite severe funding shortage in 2017. The number of journal publications is in steady increase over the years. The research conducted by the PG students those who graduated in 21st Aril, 2017 was reported as a part of Research Report 2016. Research conducted by the final year undergraduate students also constitute a large proportion of research reported by the academic departments. Many of the research outputs are very important and of immense values for tackling the problems the country is facing. Many of those required to fine-tuned further research. Despite severe financial challenge, university allocated a total of K76,353 to support the postgraduate students’ research, and an amount of K22,680 for conference attendance by the academic staff. Allocations of funds both for research and conference were higher than that of 2016. This demonstrates the Unitech’s strong commitment to PG studies and research. This funding needs to be substantially increased in the coming years as this is the worthwhile spending. Postgraduate studies are the conduits for the universities to develop research programs to be creative and solve complex problem through innovations leading to sustainable national developments. These are the shared challenges for the whole country and needs shared response. The report also contains 25 abstracts presented in the “Unitech Research Committee Seminar Series” – a hallmark of Unitech. This weekly seminar series that is running for the last five years brings the academics, staff and students together in a common platform to share and disseminate research findings to wider university community. This seminar series is the best forum not only to disseminate the research outcomes to wider community but also to train the young academics and postgraduate students for their presentation and communication skills.

It offers Undergraduate and Postgraduate Degrees in Agriculture, conduct agricultural research and disseminate the relevant information to the community. The undergraduate program consists of a four-year study program- Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSc. Ag). The Bachelor of Agriculture and Rural Development (BARD), program is offered in distance mode in collaboration with the Department of Distance Learning. There are three robust postgraduate programs, which include Master of Science in Agriculture (MSc. Ag), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The MSc. Ag) program is a combination of course work and research-based degree program, while PhD and MPhil studies are fully research-based degrees. The Department has 15 qualified academic staff members (11 with PhDs and 3 on PhD studies overseas). In 2017, seven students graduated with postgraduate degrees (2 MPhil and 5 MSc). The Department of Agriculture is committed in delivering quality teaching, research, outreach activities and post-graduate studies. It has well guided activities including research thrust areas stipulated in the Department’s Five Year Strategic Development Plans (2005 – 2010 and 2011 – 2015). Strategic Plan for 2016-20 has already been prepared based on the University’s Vision 2030 and Mission. The curriculum is enhanced through regular and periodic review in consultation with stakeholders and industries in the public and private sectors. The Department has established strong collaborative research links with international developmental partners and stakeholders, including Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and New Zealand AID. Regular publication of the scientific journal ‘Niugini Agrisaiens’ and academic staff publishing scientific papers regularly confirm the department’s strong commitment in research at Unitech. Strong collaborative research collaborations exist with PNG National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI), University of South Pacific (USP), Fiji, Charles RESEARCH REPORT 2017 2 PNG University of Technology Sturt University (CSU), Australia, National Research Institute (NRI) of Greenwich University (U.K.), South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), Australia, University of Canberra, Australia, Curtin University, Australia and other NGOs, industries and institutions further cements our strong leadership in agricultural research. Other publications, compilation of abstracts of research done by the post- graduate students, Annual Reports, Farm Report and Strategic Plan on annual basis also strengthens the department’s research capacity. The following research focus areas have been identified and much of the staff and student research are woven around these thematic areas: RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS Research Focus Area – 1: Crop Sciences • Evaluation of promising rice varieties for Papua New Guinea • Crop improvement and adaptation to stress environments caused by climate change • Use of Trichoderma spp. as a biocontrol agent against some selected soil borne pathogens • Study of the production technology and practices of selected crops by farmers in different agro-ecological regions of Papua

  • A Critique and Re-Conceptualisation Of
    SCENARIOS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED MANAGEMENT OF CUTOVER NATIVE FOREST IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA Cossey Keosai Yosi Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2011 Melbourne School of Land and Environment Department of Forest and Ecosystem Science The University of Melbourne “Produced on archival quality paper” ABSTRACT There is an increasing demand for multiple objectives from forest management worldwide and this is particularly challenging for tropical forests due to their diverse composition, structure and a wide range of stakeholder expectations and requirements. In Papua New Guinea (PNG) forest management is generally considered to be unsustainable and commercial harvesting leaves behind large forest areas to degrade overtime with little attention paid to their future management. There were four objectives of this study. The first was to assess the current condition and future production potential of cutover forests in PNG. The second objective focussed on developing scenario analyses and evaluation tools for assisting decision making in community-based management of cutover native forests. In the third objective, the study tested the tools developed under the second objective in two case study sites where extensive harvesting of primary forest had taken place in the past. The fourth objective of this study was to develop a conceptual framework for community-based management of cutover native forests in PNG. The methodology used in this study was a combination of qualitative analyses of community interests and expectations in small-scale harvesting and quantitative analyses of permanent sample plots (PSPs), forest resources and cash-flow associated with different management scenarios in two case study sites.
