Powdery mildew control of grapes with fungicides. Location: Mount Barker Research Station. Black spot and downy mildew of processing peas - 80AL32. Facial eczema investigation. Facial eczema is a recognised myco-toxic disease of grazing stock in New Zealand. It is caused by a fungus Pithomyces chartarum growing on dead litter part of the pasture. The disease has become recognised as a risk to sheep in the Albany Region following reported losses in 1978. A pasture paddock at Cape Riche was sampled weekly by the Animal Division to determine fluctuations in spore numbers of P. chartarum. Comments: The fungus could readily …

Effect of stubble and seed infection on S. nodorum at Badgingarra. Fungicide timing on Septoria control.
Double cropping wheat was simulated by spreading stubble fragments collected from an adjoining paddock at 30 g/m2. Infected seed was from a 1979 sowing at Badgingarra, clean seed was pedigree Gamenya ex Merredin. Treatments were thus:- 1. Clean seed, no stubble. 2. Clean seed plus stubble. 3. Infected seed, no stubble. 4. Infected seed plus stubble. Plots were 10 x 25 m separated by equal sized barley buffers.

Screening Of Clovers For Resistance To Clover Scorch, D. L. Chatel
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Clover Scorch (Jointly with Dr C.M. Francis). One thousand four hundred and seventy six legumes were screened in the field at the Denmark Research Station for susceptibility to clover scorch. They comprised 1440 subterranean clovers, eight other Trifoliums, two medics and 26 serradellas. The clovers from Australia gave interesting results. Thirty four of them were selections of Seaton Park, chosen by R.C. Rossiter and W. J. Collins on the basis of their variation. They did not differ in their reaction to clover scorch; all gave rating of 9. Twenty-six lines of Woogenellup from W.A. and 12 of Woogenellup and Morrar …

Lupin root disorder. Resistance to lupins to Phomopsis leptostromiformis (Fungal ratings by P. McR. Wood and F.M. O'Donnell, data compiled by J. Hamblin, Plant Production Division) Phomopsis levels on any particular genotype are influenced by environment. Therefore material selected for Phomopsis resistance is done so on its being better than average over all sites. Data for the Plant Breeders' S2-l trial at Avondale (ARS), Badgingarra (BRS), Chapman (CRS), Esperance (ERS) and Mt. Barker (MTRS) are shown in Table 3.

EARLY MATURING MEDICS Early maturing Libyan lines with some tolerance to bluegreen aphids were sown at 6 sites, five in Western Australia and one in South Australia. Seed yield and hard seed data are currently being collated. Maturity and vigour was assessed at all sites and many of the new introductions are earlier than cv. Harbinger and its equal in vegetative growth. A much larger range (300 lines) was grown at Medina and will be introduced into country sites next year.
