The Effect Of Nitrogen On Pastures And Subsequent Sheep Production., L. Cransberg
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Trial 89MT1
Location: Mt Barker Research Station
To measure the effect of autumn/winter application on:
1. Pasture growth rates and composition
2. Sheep production using pregnant/lacting ewes.
Trial 89KA6
Management systems for sheep.
Location: Kojonup
To measure the effects of set stocking and strip (rotation) grazing on:
1. Pasture production, composition and quality.
2. Sheep production (liveweight, condition score, wool growth rate, fibre diameter strength and vegetable matter contamination).

The Grazing Value Of Medicago Murex., C. M. Saunders
The Grazing Value Of Medicago Murex., C. M. Saunders
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Trial 88KA92
Location: Potts Road, East Kojonup.
At present, limited information is available on the grazing value of Medicago murex cv. Zodiac on sheep live weights and wool growth. This trial was designed to provide data on the relative performance of sheep grazing Zodiac compared with the recommended subterranean clovers (Junee/Seaton Park) in the > 450mm rainfall zone in WA.

Trial 84V2.
Location: Vasse Research Station.
The background, aims and measurements have been detailed in previous annual reports (SEE 1987 Experimental Summary).
As in the previous 4 years of this trial the 1988 pasture measurements have confirmed the hypothesis that "increasing stocking rates" result in a reduction in pasture growth rates, and in turn a reduction in total annual pasture production.
Murex Medic Trials And Redlegged Earthmite Impacts, D. Gillespie
Murex Medic Trials And Redlegged Earthmite Impacts, D. Gillespie
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
1. Selection and development of early maturing varieties of murex medic.
Small plot trials were established at six medium and low rainfall sites in autumn 1988. All were hand sown 2Mx3Mplots sown at 50 kg/ha except for the Merredin site which was drill sown at 10 kg/ha.
Locations: Badgebup, Gabalong, Kellerberrin, Merredin, North Quairading, Pingrup.
2. Mid season murex medic evaluation.
Locations: Avondale, Cranbrook, Darkan and New Norcia
This programme aims to identify superior varieties to Zodiac which was released in 1988.
3. Management of murex medic.
Locations: Arthur River
After three years of drought the large grazing trial at …
Sheep Liver Copper Levels, J W. Gartrell
Sheep Liver Copper Levels, J W. Gartrell
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Introduction.
Our knowledge, and consequently our advise to farmers on the needs for copper fertilizers in the wheatbelt have been largely based on thoses of plants - cereals in particular. For one thing, definitive experimentation is easier with cereals than sheep.

Report On Trials Conducted In 1978 And 1969 By Plants Research Division And Wheat And Sheep Division, J W. Gartrell
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
In the late 1920's the seven million acres of virgin land
between Hyden and Salmon Gums were considered for settlement under
the "3,500 farms scheme" because it constituted "practically the
only large area of wheat lands in a suitable climatic zone not then
settled in Australia" (Teakle 1939).
Land Resource Evaluation - Ninety Mile Tank Report On Trials Conducted 1968, 1969 And 1970 By Plant Research Division And Wheat And Sheep Division, J W. Gartrell
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
In the late 1920's the seven million acres of virgin land between Hyden and Salmon Gums were considered for settlement under the "3,500 farms scheme" because it constituted "practically the only large area of wheat lands in a suitable climatic zone not then settled in Australia" (Teakle 1939). At that time the sandy scrubplain soils were more a liability than an asset because methods of profitably farming the light soils had not then been evolved. These useless scrubplains merely increased the distances between patches of' more f'ertile soils. The scheme for settlement was based mainly on the potential of' the …
