Trial 89AB12
Great Southern Agricultural Institute - Paddock B15
This trial was of similar design to the single row evaluation, except four replications and pesticide treatments were also included.
However the trial had to be abandoned due to severe phytotoxic responses seen in the medics due to repeated spraying of 'Lorsban' (used at recommended rates).
Intended to repeat this work in 1990, bulk seed where possible and to eventually assess these lines, under such conditions, in large plots.

Undersosing with drenches is a mojor cause of anthelmintic (drench) resistance in worm parasites of sheep.
When farmers use a drench at less than the recommended dose rate, some worms may survive, and their ability to resist treatment with the chemical involved is passed to their offspring. Over a period of time, matings between worms with different degrees of resistance can produce individuals able to resist the drench at the recommended dose rate or even higher.
Farmers must use adequate dose rates so that worms do not have a chance to survive treatment.
