Seed Phosphorus : Its Effect On Plant Production, Mike Bolland, Mike Riley, Brett Thomson, Blakely Paynter, Mike Baker
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The amount of phosphorus in the seed of annual crop and pasture species influences production of plants grown from that seed. It appears the more phosphorus there is in the seed, the better the potential yield irrespective of whether fertilizer phosphorus is applied to the soil or not. This article discusses the influence of phosphorus concentration in the seed of annual crop and pasture species on subsequent production. It also explains the difference between phosphorus concentration and phosphorus content in the seed

Wheat Quality For The Japanese Flour Milling And Noodle Industries, Graham Crosbie, Dianne Miskelly, Tim Dewan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
About one-third of Australia's wheat production is used in the manufacture of Asian noodles. Japan is one of our most important noodle wheat markets. In that country much of the 900,000 to 1,000,000 tonnes of Australian wheat bought each year is used for noodle production. About 70 per cent of this wheat is Australian Standard White (ASW)from Western Australia. ASWis highly regarded for its suitability for the production of white, Japanese-style noodles. The remainder comprises mainly Australian Prime Hard (APH) which is valued for the production of yellow, Chinese-style noodles and for various breads. This article discusses quality aspects associated …

The Segregation Of Wheat For Noodles, Graham Crosbie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Western Australian segregation of wheat of selected varieties to cater for the requirements of the established Japanese noodle wheat market and an emerging market for this type of wheat in South Korea started in the 1989-90 season. In this article, Graham Crosbie, who pressed strongly for this segregation, explains the background behind its introduction and the need to ensure its success.
