Farm Women And Work : Required But Not Recognised, Fiona M. Haslam-Mckenzie
Farm Women And Work : Required But Not Recognised, Fiona M. Haslam-Mckenzie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Across Australia, government sponsored Rural Women's Networks have been established to encourage rural women to look beyond their individual context and to identify as part of a much larger group of women, all with common concerns. These networks have encouraged women to view themselves as legitimate participants in a patriarchal society and to realise that the traditional male culture of farming is redundant. Fiona M. Haslam-McKenzie, a lecturer in the Faculty of Business at Edith Cowan University, reviews the recognition given to women on the farm.
Bean Yellow Mosiac Virus In Lupins, Roger Jones
Bean Yellow Mosiac Virus In Lupins, Roger Jones
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) is a threat to lupin crops in high rainfall areas of south-western Australia, particularly in districts where subterranean clover pastures are prevalent. The disease causes markedly reduced grain yield in all types of lupins. Worldwide this is the most important virus affecting lupins. The author outlines the symptoms, spread and management of this serious disease.
Woolpro : The Way To Better Pastures And Sheep, Julia Fry
Woolpro : The Way To Better Pastures And Sheep, Julia Fry
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WOOLPRO farmers recognise that sustainable increases in productivity are essentail to maintain and improve income of wool growers.
Teasing Apart The Threads Of Staple Strength, Andrew Peterson
Teasing Apart The Threads Of Staple Strength, Andrew Peterson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A successful partnership between two local inventors and Agriculture WA's Wool Program has created a new instrument which, just like the growth rings of trees, can show seasonal changes in the fibre diameter of wool. This will have considerable value to the wool industry as Andrew Peterson explains.
Focus Catchments : A New Approach To Salinity Research : National Dryland Salinity Program, Steve Porritt
Focus Catchments : A New Approach To Salinity Research : National Dryland Salinity Program, Steve Porritt
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Dry/and salinity is a major threat to the resource base of many rural industries around Australia. More than 1.8 million hectares of once productive land are affected by salinity, with a further 1.6 million hectares at risk in the next 15 to 25 years in Western Australia alone. Much of the past Commonwealth and State expenditure on salinity programs and activities has been poorly targeted and coordinated. In view of this, a national dry/and salinity program that supports specific State salinity management programs has been established jointly between the Commonwealth and State government agencies.
The Upper Kent River Catchment is …
The Production Of Table Grapes In Western Australia, Jim Campbell-Clause
The Production Of Table Grapes In Western Australia, Jim Campbell-Clause
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The table grape industry in Western Australia is expanding to fill increasing export and domestic demand. Expansion of the industry has been based on Redglobe production in new areas ranging from Camarvon in the north to Margaret River in the South. Expansion has been rapid with success due in part to adoption of research findings. Jim Campbell-Clause reviews the direction the industry must follow to continue to expand. It will need to adopt new varieties to fill market niches, use production methods that minimise inputs and off site effects and maximise yield and quality.

Better Flock Benchmarking From Wether Trials, David Windsor, Bronwyn Clarke
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Genetic links between wether trials put in place by Agriculture Western Australia's Wool Program are helping farmers benchmark the productivity of their flocks on a statewide basis. David Windsor and Bronwyn Cklarke report on the progress to date.

Wool 2000, Tunbridge Steve
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Wool 2000 Market Awareness Workshops have been a highly successful venture by Agriculture Western Australia and the International Wool Secretariat. In the past two years over 35 workshops have been held in about as many locations in the southern half of Western Australia, from Gascoyne Junction to Esperance.

Simazine And Other Triazines, Terry Piper
Simazine And Other Triazines, Terry Piper
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
One of the most successful examples of breeding for herbicide resistance is the development of triazine resistant canola varieties. Now we are trying to select for triazine tolerance in lupins, Agriculture Western Australia's breeding and testing program is now carried out with a basal treatment of simazine. Terry Piper outlines the chemistry and action of these widely used herbicides and points to reason why they can sometimes fail.
