Increased Returns From Agronomic Inputs In Early Sown Cereal Crops, W K. Anderson
Increased Returns From Agronomic Inputs In Early Sown Cereal Crops, W K. Anderson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
When crop variety and soeing dae are matched so that flowering occurs in the 'window' for a particular site, grain yields are increased and yield response to inputs such as nitrogen fertilizer and seeding rate is magnified.
This response occurs because the srop's potential for setting and filling grains is much improved by sowing at the optimum time. However varieties differ in their yield potential because they have different lenghts of growing season, which probably affects grain numbers, and because they have different inherent grain sizes. These differences affect the way varieties react to sowing date. Figure 1 shows how …
Early Sowing : One Key To Improved Yields Of Cereal Crops, M W. Perry, Wal Anderson, Rob Delane
Early Sowing : One Key To Improved Yields Of Cereal Crops, M W. Perry, Wal Anderson, Rob Delane
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Early sowing of cereal crops is one of the most important management practices through which Western Australian cereal growers can increase yields.
Researchers have long known that in theory early sowing should mean improved growth and water use efficiency - which both contribuite to increased yields. Application of this knowledge has had to await new tillage and herbicide technology, but recent research in the northan and central wheatbelt has now demonstrated the advantages of early sowing in practice. And more exciting yet, there is evidence that yield responses to weed control and applied fertilizers may also be greater in early …
Trends In Wheat Protein/Yield Relationships, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher, Bryan Whan
Trends In Wheat Protein/Yield Relationships, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher, Bryan Whan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The major concern of wheat breeders in WesternAustralia has been to increase grain yield while maintaining quality at an acceptable level. There has been no concious effort to select for protein content. It is of interrest, therefore, to compare the relationship between yield and protein of varieties which have been prominent in Western Australia at various times, to see what effects yield increases have had on protein content and the extent of any variation which might exist.
Variation In Wheat Protein Content : The Effect Of Environment, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher
Variation In Wheat Protein Content : The Effect Of Environment, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Over the past 20 years, the average protein content of WesternAustralian wheat has ranged from 9.3 to 12.0 per cent, with a mean level of 10.4 per cent. At most grain receival points, in any one season, individual loads can often vary in protein content by as much as 5 per cent protein or more. Rainfall and soil fertility account for much of this variation.
Frost Injury To Cereals In W.A, M W. Perry, A. G. P. Brown
Frost Injury To Cereals In W.A, M W. Perry, A. G. P. Brown
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Late spring frosts commonly reduce yields and affect the quality of grain in wheat crops, especially in the southern, eastern and north-eastern districts. The damage is usually localised on individual farms, but is sometimes widespread.
Barley, and oats to a lesser extent, are also affected. Average losses of wheat in Western Australia have been estimated at 3 to 5 per cent, per year, or about 2 million bushels on current production figures.
Recommended Cereal Varieties : 1969, H M. Fisher, J. T. Reeves, J. A. Parish
Recommended Cereal Varieties : 1969, H M. Fisher, J. T. Reeves, J. A. Parish
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Cereal varieties widely recommended for growing in 1969 are Gamenya and Falcon wheats, Dampier and Beecher barleys and Swan oats.
Other varieties include the new wheat Darkan, which is recommended only for the higher rainfall areas, the rust resistant wheats Mengavi and Gamut, and Irwin oats for late sowing in northeastern districts.
Wren Wheat Unimpressive In West Australian Trials, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Wren Wheat Unimpressive In West Australian Trials, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WREN WHEAT, the subject of current controversy in the Eastern States, has been tested in trials in Western Australia and the results have indicated that it is not likely to yield well in this State.
The Effect Of Straw On The Emergence Of Wheat Seedlings, W A. Shipton, W. R. Tweedie
The Effect Of Straw On The Emergence Of Wheat Seedlings, W A. Shipton, W. R. Tweedie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The emergence of wheat seedlings was decreased substantially when seed was planted close to oaten straw.
When the grain was placed a 1/4 inch above a straw layer emergence was depressed by more than half.
Varieties And Time Of Sowing, H M. Fisher
Varieties And Time Of Sowing, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE extent to which seasonal conditions favour the various stages of plant development has a marked effect on cereal yields. Because varieties differ in their development they react in different ways to a particular seasonal pattern.
Wheat Quality Surveys In Western Australia. Part 1. The Distribution Of Areas Producing High And Low Protein Wheat, J A. Parish
Wheat Quality Surveys In Western Australia. Part 1. The Distribution Of Areas Producing High And Low Protein Wheat, J A. Parish
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS article reports results from survey work carried out by the author, in collaboration with Co-operative Bulk Handling Ltd., on wheat drawn from all receival points in Western Australia during the period 1956-63.
Wheat Quality Surveys In Western Australia. 2. Variation Between Seasons And Localities In The Production Of High And Low Protein Wheat, J A. Parish
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Although the protein content of West Australian f.a.q. wheat averages only 9.4 per cent., often substantial amounts of comparatively high protein wheat are contained in this mixture.
However the quantity varies widely from year to year and is obtained from widely scattered areas of the wheatbelt.
Take-All Of Wheat On The Esperance Downs, S C. Chambers
Take-All Of Wheat On The Esperance Downs, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE agricultural development of the Esperance Downs was reviewed recently by Shier, Dunne and Fitzpatrick (1963) who indicated the great potential of this region.
They described the establishment of clover ley pastures capable of supporting heavy stocking rates. Crops of oats or linseed also give excellent returns.
Weed-free rotations which include linseed, oats or vetches may reduce wheat losses caused by take-all on the Esperance Downs.
Deep Sowing Of Wheat : The Effect On Root Systems, S C. Chambers
Deep Sowing Of Wheat : The Effect On Root Systems, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DEEP sowing appears to be an important cause of poor emergence in wheat and care should be taken to seed at the recommended depth of 1 to 1J inches.
Nevertheless some growers in drought liable areas, persist in sowing at 2 to 3 inches in the belief that it will encourage a deep root system.
Relation Of Size Of Seed And Sprout Value To The Yield Of Small Grain Crops, T. A. Kiesselbach, C. A. Helm
Relation Of Size Of Seed And Sprout Value To The Yield Of Small Grain Crops, T. A. Kiesselbach, C. A. Helm
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
A superior yielding power has frequently been attributed to the extra large seed. Since the seeds of any given crop commonly differ markedly in size, it is of importance from the standpoint of crop production to know the extent to which this difference in size may affect the yield of the crop produced. The following experiments have been conducted for the purpose of contributing further to the information upon this subject.
