SCIENCE IN INDUSTRY

The Wheat Research Institute

The Institute was established in 1928 in the form of a Cereal Laboratory at Christchurch and a Wheat Breeding Section at Lincoln. In 1950 the latter was amalgamated with the Agronomy Division of the Department (then renamed the Crop Research Division). Finance is derived from a levy in the flourmilling and baking industries and from a Government subsidy.
