Promising Results With Pineapples At Carnarvon, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Pineapples were investigated commercially in Carnarvon in the early 1930's but drought, sunscorch, alkaline soils and problems with transport and marketing caused the infant industry to collapse in 1936.
Recently however, trials at Gascoyne Research Station have shown that pineapples can produce good yields of high quality fruit in the area.
The trials have been aimed at establishing the viability of pineapple production at Carnarvon and have been carried out by officers of the Horticulture Division.
