He used the genetic modification techniques prevalent at the time, including irradiation and the use of chemical mutagens, to produce successful varieties of wheat, oats and barley. He became the leading authority on barley in Australia. By 1964 his 'Research' variety of malting barley dominated the Victorian industry and was widely grown overseas. Raw's work led to the introduction of high-yielding wheats producing flour with good baking qualities. His research unit also worked on other crops such as linseed, tomatoes, onions, potatoes and tobacco. 1927 1927 Education - Bachelor of Agricultural Science (BAgSc), University of Melbourne 1927 1964 Career position - Research scientist, Victorian Department of Agriculture 1931 1931 Education - Master of Agricultural Science (MAgSc), University of Melbourne Victorian Department of Agriculture, Colony and State of Victoria (1872 - 1985)
