Seed Storage In Relation To Germination, G R W Meadly

Bluebush Seed Supplies, C V. Malcolm

A GREAT deal of publicity has been given of late to the value of bluebush (Kochia brevifolia) as a plant for some types of salt-affected land, particularly in the drier parts of the wheatbelt.
Obtaining seed supplies can be a problem, but fortunately large amounts of seed are not required since once a few bushes are established they will spread seed over the intervening areas.
Thus rates of 1 to 2 lb of seed per acre have been found quite satisfactory.
