The Program is funded by voluntary contributions paid by industry participants and core funding provided by the Australian Government. The investments made by the Program follow the Five Year R&D Plan for Essential Oils and Plant Extracts 2008-2013. In May 2008 an Evaluation Framework for RIRDC was finalised. This framework, among other things, sets out a process for reviewing each of RIRDC’s programs in the final year of its five year plan. One of the two programs selected for assessment in 2012-13 was the Essential Oils and Plant Extracts Program. Up until and including 2011, a part of each specific program review was to select randomly three independent investments within a program for an impact evaluation through cost benefit analysis. The three economic analyses provided specific case studies that demonstrated the extent and distribution of benefits that have been, are being, or will be captured. Such information was valuable to not only RIRDC management, but also to the members of the industry (or industries) at which the investment has been targeted. Another purpose of the economic analyses was to contribute to a process being undertaken for the Council of Rural Research & Development Corporations (CRRDC) that aims to demonstrate through examples the outcomes and benefits that have emerged or are likely to emerge from the 15 Rural Research and Development Corporations (RDCs). Valuation of these benefits, along with identification of investment expenditure, is required in order to demonstrate the RDCs’ contribution to Australian rural industry as well as environmental and social benefits to Australia. As of early calendar year 2013, RIRDC is considering making some modifications to both its evaluation framework and its economic evaluation component. Likewise, the CRRDC evaluation process is likely to undergo some changes in calendar year 2013. Economic impact assessments are likely to maintain a strong presence in both the RIRDC and CRRDC frameworks. Impact assessments serve the main purpose of providing accountability to government and industry/community stakeholders that research funds have been managed appropriately and are producing positive impacts and benefits to Australia. The economic evaluation of investment in the Essential Oils and Plant Extracts Program undertaken in 2012-2013 differs from the previous “three random project” approach to the evaluation of RIRDC’s programs. The current evaluation process scans all of the Program projects that have been completed in the past five years, as well as some projects that may be still current. The 26 projects scanned demonstrated a wide range of predominantly economic benefits, a number of which were quantified in value terms. Total funding from all sources for all 26 projects totalled $6.2 million (present value terms) and 13 of these projects produced aggregate total benefits of $22.4 million (present value terms). The investment in the 13 projects of $3.9m produced a benefit cost ratio of 5.8 to 1. If the benefits from the 13 projects were compared to the total investment in the 26 projects, the benefit cost ratio was 3.6 to 1. iii This report is an addition to RIRDC’s diverse range of over 2000 research publications and it forms part of our Essential Oils and Plant Extracts R&D program, which aims to support the development of sustainable and profitable production systems.

  • Centipeda Cunninghamii
    Centipeda cunninghamii FAMILY: ASTERACEAE BOTANICAL NAME: Centipeda cunninghamii (DC.) A.Braun & Asch., Index Seminum Hort. Bot. Berol. App. 6 (1867) COMMON NAME: Erect sneezeweed COMMONWEALTH STATUS (EPBC Act): Not Listed TASMANIAN STATUS (TSP Act): rare Images by Richard Schahinger Description Centipeda cunninghamii is an erect or ascending aromatic perennial herb with multiple stems to c. 30 cm high. The stems are glabrous or somewhat cottony near the growing tips. Leaves are arranged alternately along the stems; they are oblong or narrowly obovate, 7 to 30 mm long and 2.5 to 7 mm wide, with serrate margins; the leaf surfaces are glabrous and dotted with resin globules. The inflorescence is a stalkless (sessile) compound flower-head, hemispherical or subglobular at anthesis, 4 to 8 mm in diameter; surrounding (involucral) bracts occur in 3 to 5 rows and are obovate, 1.5 to 3 mm long. The flower heads consist of c. 200 to 350 outer (female) florets in 7 to 12 rows, with 20 to 70 inner (bisexual) florets. Flowering occurs between spring and autumn. The fruit (cypsela) is oblong, 1.2 to 2 mm long, truncate or rounded at the apex, with 4 prominent ribs that are united into a spongy apical portion at or above three-quarters of the cypsela length (Walsh 2001). Confusing species: Centipeda elatinoides is the only other species of Centipeda in Tasmania (de Salas & Baker 2015); it has a prostrate rather than erect habit, flower heads that are shortly pedunculate rather than sessile, fewer florets (< 100) per flower head, and ribs on the fruit that extend virtually to the apex (Walsh 2001).
