D.Gps For Ground Control In The Quindabellup And Wambellup Sub-Catchments, Buddy Wheaton
D.Gps For Ground Control In The Quindabellup And Wambellup Sub-Catchments, Buddy Wheaton
Soil conservation survey collection
This report summarises work undertaken to provide ground control for digital terrain models(DTMs) of the Quindabellup and Wambellup sub-catchments. The DTMs will be generated using digital photogrammetry; the ground control was obtained using differential Global Positioning System (D.GPS). Description of Bench Marks (BMs) and summary sheets of Standard Survey Marks (SSMs) located in the general area, were obtained from the Department of Land Administration(DOLA). A ground survey was carried out to confirm the location and condition of BMs and SSMs in the two sub-catchments. Five SSMs were selected as reference points for the D.GPS survey. A further 8 bench marks …

Remnant Vegetation And Natural Resources Of The Blackwood River Catchment An Atlas, Shaun B. Grein
Agriculture reports
The Blackwood River is one of the longest rivers in the South-West of Western Australia, stretching 300 km from Moordjarrup to August. The catchment covers more than 28,000 square kilometres (2.8 million ha) from the Shire of Kent to the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River. It incorporates 17 shires, more than 30,000 people, 18 Land Conservation District Committees (LCDCs) and 143 sub-catchment groups. Shires within the Blackwood Catchment cover 4.12 million hectares, over half of the total area of the shires that fall within the catchment boundary.

Productive Pastures Pay - A Manual On Pasture Establishment And Management For The Above 700 Mm Rainfall Zone, P T. Arkell
Productive Pastures Pay - A Manual On Pasture Establishment And Management For The Above 700 Mm Rainfall Zone, P T. Arkell
Bulletins 4000 -
This manual on pasture establishment andmanagement is designed to help farmers grow productive pastures. It deals with annual and perennial pastures on dryland and irrigated farms in the above 700 mm rainfall zone and may be used by individual farmers or discussion groups. Input from discussion groups will improve futureeditions of the manual.Farmers frequently need to reseed their pastures. Pastures deteriorate and new, more productive species and cultivars come on to the market. Also improved techniques are developed to tackle land management problems like salinity, waterlogging and acidity. All these situations lead to a reseeding operation.

Canola : Golden Oil For Farmers And Consumers, Paul Carmody
Canola : Golden Oil For Farmers And Consumers, Paul Carmody
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
It is feasible that canola could become Western Australia's fourth largest crop after wheat, barley and lupins by the turn of the century.
Without the stigma attached to its parent crop, rapeseed, canola has also become one of the most successful international agricultural product launches, proving itself not only a useful cropping alternative but a healthy oil for consumers. State Oilseeds Adviser PAUL CARMODY sets the scene.

Planting Seeds For A Sound Future, Peter Portmann
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Royalties have been collected sales of all new crop varieties released in We tern ustralia by the Department of Agriculture since the lease of Merrit lupins and Yilgarn oats in 1991.
Many questions have been raised by farmers about these royalties. Why pay royalties when we have already paid for the development of the varieties through our Grains Research end: Development Corporation levy? Why should we pay a Jevy if it - is just going back into Government revenue? Is there any real benefit to us?
Wiping Out Tall Weeds, Brad Rayner
Wiping Out Tall Weeds, Brad Rayner
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Control of weeds is an on-going battle for farmers, with many weapons becoming increasingly expensive. A refreshing exception to this trend is the blanket wiper, a cheap but effective meens of applying herbicides to taller weeds in pasture. Brad Rayner explains how it works.
Value Of Saltbush Questioned, Brian Warren, Tess Casson, Ed Barrett-Lennard
Value Of Saltbush Questioned, Brian Warren, Tess Casson, Ed Barrett-Lennard
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Over the last 20 years the Department of Agriculture has focused on finding plant species that can grow on salt/and to produce sheep feed, and on techniques for establishing plantations of saltbushes. Some research has been in response to farmer reports of success in using revegetated salt/and to provide autumn forage, while other work has resulted from the apparent importance of saltbushes in rangeland areas.
Objective measurements of wool production have been taken only recently. Three years research at Katanning indicates that while saltbush material is selected and eaten by sheep, its value for wool production is not high. It …

Nature Conservation In The Western Australian Wheatbelt, Max Abensperg-Traun
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Growing concern about the survival of flora and fauna in the Western Australian wheatbelt prompted CSIRO scientists to start a long-term study to moniter trends in populations. Max Abensperg-Traun and his colleagues reportt on their findings so far.

Making Horticulture Sustainable, Bob Paulin, Neil Clifton Lantzke, Ian Mcpharlin, Murray Hegney
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Sweet crunchy carrots, luscious strawberries at very reasonable prices, crisp green vegetables - these are just a few of the horticultural products that Western Australians take for granted and eat almost every day. But is their future availability guaranteed as population grows, suburbia spreads and environmental concern increases?

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Pulses : Profitable New Crops For The Wheatbelt, Kadambot Siddique, Stephen Loss, Ian Pritchard
Pulses : Profitable New Crops For The Wheatbelt, Kadambot Siddique, Stephen Loss, Ian Pritchard
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Narrow-leafed lupins have beeb produced on sandy acid soils throughout the wheatbelt for more than two decades. However, the wheatbelt contains large areas ofsoilsnot suited to narrow-leafed lupins. For several years reasearchers have been examining alternatives to narrow-leafed lupins for these soils.
Kadambot Siddique, Stephen Loss and Ian Prichard look at production of these new grain legumes, known as pulses.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
On Thursday 11 May 1995, a low pressure system with central barometric pressure of 990 hPa formed of south-western Australia. This depression directed gale force winds over the South-West Land Division for some seven hours.
Dan Carter reports on the widespread damage to soils and property, and management practices that would have reduced the problem.
Cucumber Mosiac Virus In Lupins, Annette Bwye, Roger Jones, Wayne Proudlove
Cucumber Mosiac Virus In Lupins, Annette Bwye, Roger Jones, Wayne Proudlove
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Cucumber mosaic virus is a threat to lupin crops from Geraldton to Esperance, particularly to those growing in areas receiving more than 400 mm average annual rainfall. The disease markedly decreases grain yield in narrow-leafed and yellow lupins but doesnot infect albus or sandplain lupins. Worldwide , after bean yellow mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus is the second most important virus affecting lupins. Annette Bwye, Roger Jones and Wayne Proudlove outline the symptoms, spread and management of this serious disease.

A Key To The Species Of Bluebushes (Maireana Species) Of The Arid Southern Shrublands Of Western Australia, H J. Pringle, R Cranfield
Resource management technical reports
This key has been produced to make identification of Maireana species (the bluebushes) easier in the arid shrublands region of Western Australia. It attempts to use everyday terms rather than technical botanical terms wherever possible and includes an illustrated diagram for ease of identification. A flow diagram - as opposed to traditional botanical keys - allows for visual tracking of steps taken in the key and hence makes it easier to backtrack if the final identified species seems incorrect.Fruit chacters alluded to at various steps in the key are also presented, and drawings of each species fruits are also included …
