Seed And Pasture Rates For New Dairy Pastures, F E. Ryan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE success or failure of pasture establishment on new land often depends on the interaction of rate of seeding and rate of superphosphate application.
Every year large areas of virgin land are cleared and sown to pasture in the higher rainfall areas, and all-too often the new pasture is not as successful as it should be because too little super is applied, and, in some cases, too little seed.

If deteriorated pasture and underdeveloped pasture in the Busselton-Margaret River district could be improved to the standard of the present highly productive pastures stocking rates could be improved by more than 50 per cent.—final article in a series reporting the results of a survey of farm practices in the district.

Stocking Rate And Wool Production At Kojonup, Davies H. Lloyd, A. W. Humphries
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
RESEARCH workers in several parts of the world have recognised the overriding importance of stocking rate in raising animal production per acre.
This article describes some of the initial work on the effect of stocking rate on wool production and liveweight change in medium-Peppin Merino sheep.
The work was carried out at the C.S.I.R.O. "Glen Lossie" Field Station at Kojonup, Western Australia.
