The Offshore Constitutional Settlement Western Australia 1988, Fisheries Department Of Western Australia

Fisheries management papers

In June 1987 under the Offshore Constitution Settlement (OCS), the Australian and West Australian State Governments completed the first stage of rationalising jurisdiction over a number of fisheries operating off the West Australian coast. Arrangements under the OCS for West Australian fisheries fall into three catagories: 1. fisheries managed by the State under State law as far seaward as the arrangement specifies. 2. fisheries managed by the West Australian Fisheries Joint Management Authority under State laws in waters were the arrangement applies. 3. fisheries managed by the Commonwealth under Commonwealth law in waters where the arrangement applies. Eleven of the …

Draft Management Plan For The Perth Metropolitan Purse Seine Fishery, P. Millington

Fisheries management papers

As part of a development strategy for inshore purse seine fishing along the Western Australian coast this plan proposes management measures for the purse seine fishing boats operating along the coast near the greater Perth Metropolitan area. Using as a basis the restricted entry Cockburn sound purse seine fishery, the plan proposes the introduction of a limited entry regime for inshore purse seine fishing between Lancelin to just south of Mandurah. This regime will permit management of the available pelagic fish stocks in the area and also protect the economic position of the existing participants by providing an environment for …

Seed Production And Hard Seededness Of Trifolium Subterraneum Subsp Brachycalycinum, Michael D A Bolland

Technical Bulletins

Ungrazed swards of some subsp. brachycalycinum strains produced reasonable seed yields compared with subsp. subterraneum on the sandplain soils and annual Medicago species on the alkaline mallee soils. However, in swards which were grazed by sheep up to the start of flowering, subsp. brachycalycinum produced disappointing seed yields compared with subsp. subterraneum and annual Medicago species. On a sandy soil, prevention of burr burial compared with covering developing burrs with sand drastically reduce ation an inhibiting light factor operates to drastically reduce seed production.

Santiago Extends The Range Of Burr Medics, Clinton K. Revell, Michael Ewing

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

The release of Santiago follows an extensive Department of Agriculture testing programme conducted primarily in the 325 to 425 mm rainfall zone. Santiago substantially outperformed both Serena and Circle Valley and was the best amongst the large number of non-commercial medic varieties tested. About 500J000 ha were sown to burr medic between 1983 and 1988 and the Department of Agriculture expects that the release of Santiago will result in additional new plantings from

Annual Medic Evaluation On Eradu Sandplain Soil - 3 M Rows., Bradley Nutt, M. K. Laslett

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88EC16

Location: East Chapman Research Station

Inoculated and lime pelleted seed was hand sown into 3m rows at 0.25 g/m. All the medics were inoculated with WSM 540 which may have been less effective with some of the M. littoralis and M. tornata varieties. The 1988 season was very good in terms of frequency and amount of rainfall which is reflected in the high seed yields compared to 1987.

National Subterranean Clover Improvement Programme, P. Nichols

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88PE27 - University Field Station, Shenton Park
Trial 88WH43 - Wongan Hills Research Station.

The project aims to develop, by breeding and selection, better adapted and more productive low-oestrogen cultivars of subterranean clover for a range of environments in southern Australia. The programme is a collaborative one with the University of Western Australia and consists of two phases (i) early generation selection, which involves selecting varieties satisfying primary selection criteria; and (ii) field evaluation of advanced lines, which is conducted by the Departments of Agriculture in each State and co-ordinated by the Plant Breeder. The first phase is conducted …

As outlined by S. Flecker in the 1987 summary for this trial, the expected result of the research is that the feeding value of burr medic pastures will be greater than the feeding value of sub. clover and barrel medic pasture, particularly over the dry summer/autumn period.

In 1988 a research programme was initiated to help define the relationship between soil and plant contamination. Two main experiments were established 1) Pasture contamination in annual and perennial grazed swards. 2) Plant species contamination in a wider range of pasture and crops.

Annual Medic Evaluation On Eradu Sandplain Soil - Plots, Bradley Nutt, M. K. Laslett

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88EC17

Location: East Chapman Research Station.

The plots were hand sown at 2 g/m2 of inoculated and lime pelleted seed. The medics were inoculated with WSM540 which may have been ineffective on some of the M. littoralis and M. tornata varieties. The time taken to form ripe pods was monitored to gain some extra measure of maturity besides flowering time for comparing wide ranges of species. The ripening time involved was very similar over all the varieties, averaging out to 44 days after the flower opens. What appears to be a more important factor when considering maturity is the …

Effect Of Deep Ripping And Aphid Infestation On Pasture Production., Bradley Nutt, M. K. Laslett

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88EC18

Location: East Chapman Research Station.

Half the trial site was cultivated to 30cm at the break of the season and the whole site was normally cultivated. Weeds were then sprayed with Roundup at 1 1/ha prior to seeding with an eight run cone seeder. The plots were kept weed free during the year by hand weeding. The root distribution was calculated from soil cores taken in 20 cm increments on 20 August. Aphid cortrol consisted of spraying every two weeks with Pirimor at 140 g/ha between July and October. Lorsban at 150 ml/ha was used for the last …
