Soil Conservation Earthworks Design Manual, K J. Bligh

All other publications

In view of the great diversity of hydrological conditions encountered in the field, and the relative paucity of information with which to design soil conservation earthworks, it is frequently not possible to quantify all aspects of hydrologic design. It remains for the practising soil conservationist to search for a reasonable solution to a problem which is most appropriate to the situation, location, information and skills. The equations in this Manual provide the best available estimates of flow rates and volumes for carrying out design but it must be recognised that the information has come from a relatively limited data set, …

North Mullewa Research Station "Daisy Downs" Field Day, Peter Nelson

All other publications

NMRS (165 ha) was leased from "Daisy Downs" (Manager Mr Ken Thompson) in 1985. NMRS was established in response to famer and local goverment demand for more research on the shallow, heavy soils in a low rainfall area. It is run along similar lines to the East Chapman Research Station (ECRS), with large rotation paddocks (42 ha) set up to study farming systems the remainder of the leased area being used for general experimental purposes.

Pattern Analysis : A Descriptive Introduction, J. F. Wallace, Australian Co-Operation With The National Agricultural Research Project, Thailand.

All other publications

Notes for a workshop on pattern analysis of germplasm data ; to be held at the Pathumk Thani Rice Research Centre, May-June 1989. At head of title : Australian Co-operation with the National Agricultural Research Project Thailand.

Pattern analysis is a term which covers a very large area of statistical analysis for multivariate data sets. A full understanding of pattern analysis would require years of study of mathematical concepts and computing algorithms. Fortunately, pattern analysis methods can now be used without all this specialist knowledge. This is possible because of the availability of computer programs such as PATN, which is …

Design And Statistical Analysis Of Plant Protection Experiment, J F. Wallace

All other publications

An Australian co-operation with the national agricultural research project Thailand.

This short course is intended to cover aspects of experimental design, sampling and statistical analysis for researchers in Entomology and Plant Pathology.

The basic principles of experimental design are the same for plant protection research as they are in other areas of research. Problems in plant protection arise from the variation of the data, the complexity of the systems and interactions with environmental factors. In many cases, standard designs are quite adequate.

East Ballidu Catchment Report, L K. Lenane, C Henschke, C Thorne, D Kessell

All other publications

It will require the total cooperation of all members of the Soil Conservation District to remedy the area's problems. The first priority is for the control and better use of water on the recharge areas. The wheat/wheat/lupin rotation at present offers the best economic option. Lupins are well suited to the areas of lighter land. If lupins are planted on waterlogged soils or otherwise unsuitable soils, problems will arise and perhaps prejudice their use on the widespread suitable areas. The use of trees below rocky outcrops is an important measure to prevent excessive recharge of the deeper aquifers. Where trees …

Livestock Statistics Western Australia Prices Of Livestock Sold At Midland Auctions, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia, R. L. Taylor

All other publications

Livestock prices are shown as monthly weighted average prices calculated from saleyard auction prices, Prior to July 1989 Midland auctions were reported on by the Western Australian Department of Agriculture's Livestock Market Reporting Service, Since July 1989, prices are derived from a weekly summary of sales prepared under contract to the Department of Agriculture by Nicholls Independent Livestock Information Service ,

Livestock slaughterings and production are derived from Australian Bureau of Statistics Catalogue No. 1305.5.
