Grain Legume Agronomy Programme, G Walton Jan 1981

Grain Legume Agronomy Programme, G Walton

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Lupin agronomy, series 1 - growth factor interactions. To evaluate the relative influence that various growth factors exert on crop yield. Lupin agronomy, series 2 - harvest index response to density. To establish whether the harvest index of the plants at maximum crop yield density remains constant over a range of environmental conditions and whether differences exist between cultivars. Lupin agronomy - nutrition. To compare the grain yield response to potash rates. Grain legumes for wheatbelt rotations. To compare the soil fertility after one year growth of different legume species. In the 1981 experiments, Derrimut field pea yielded well, outyielding …

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Summary of experimental results 1981. Influence of planting systems on crop growth and soil water relations. Rainfall infiltration, drainage and water use. Yields. The two late sown treatments of previous years were replaced in 1981 with deep ripping treatments. Details are presented in R. Jarvis' report. 77A16, 77WH17,
