Lupin And Serradella Inoculation Experiments, D L. Chatel

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

BACKGROUND: During 1967 there were a number of reports of poor establishment of Weiko and Uniwhite lupins. Because of the possibility of either delayed nodulation or insufficient nitrogen fixation being involved, an experiment was conducted during 1968 to examine a range of lupin rhizobia isolates in the field (a summary of this experiment was circulated during 1969). In this experiment two strains, WU425 and WU43, showed sufficient promise to warrant additional testing in 1969.

Agronomy Of Low Alkaloid Lupins - Preliminary Investigations, C M. Francis

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Although the value of leguminous crops in the pattern of Western Australia's agriculture has been recognised for a number of years (Gladstones (1968))*, they have received comparatively little scientific attention. Whilst one such crop, the "sweet" lupin, has occasionally produced highly profitable yields, there is nevertheless a high incidence of near failures which may to a large degree be logically attributed to lack of knowledge of the basic agronomy of the crop. As a preliminary to more extensive trials at a large number of locations, it was proposed to study the effect of some basic agronomic practices (and of the …

Evaulation Of Pastures Species, G Walton

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

The 1969/70 Experimental Programme was the evaluation of pasture species, which includes both introductory evaluation in small plots and evaluation of the most promising pastures under the influence of grazing animals. GRAZING TRIALS The continuation of the evaluation of Uniwager and Daliak subclovers in two series of trials: Series 2 (medium rainfall) (2575Ex) - 68TS12 (Eneabba) 68NA15 (Bullaring) 68LG17 (East Pingrup) Series 3 (low rainfall) (2576Ex) 68GE9 (Gutha) 68M024 (Kirwin) 68ME13 (Nokaning) The comparison of Tornafield medic with suitable subclovers (2709Ex); 69M017 (Watheroo) and 69LG24 (Lake Grace). The continuation of the legume species grazing trial. 66LG11 (Lake Grace) (2225Ex) and …
