Direct Seeding Trees On Farmland In The Western Australian Wheatbelt, J P. Piggott, P H. Brown, M M. Williams

Resource management technical reports

Field and nursery experiments were conducted to determine suitable species, weed control methods, sowing times and seeding techniques. Sowing time was the most significant variable evident in the field experiments. Trees sown in the winter months of June and July out-performed later sowing times. Early sowing of trees in areas of low seasonal rainfall appears to offer considerable advantages for successful establishment over late sowing.
