Stable Flies On The Swan Coastal Plain, David Cook, Ian Dadour, Natalie Keals, Bob Paulin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Grower associations are developing best management practices to minimise stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) breeding in horticulture and turf production. Three types of insect controls are discussed.
The Production Of Table Grapes In Western Australia, Jim Campbell-Clause
The Production Of Table Grapes In Western Australia, Jim Campbell-Clause
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The table grape industry in Western Australia is expanding to fill increasing export and domestic demand. Expansion of the industry has been based on Redglobe production in new areas ranging from Camarvon in the north to Margaret River in the South. Expansion has been rapid with success due in part to adoption of research findings. Jim Campbell-Clause reviews the direction the industry must follow to continue to expand. It will need to adopt new varieties to fill market niches, use production methods that minimise inputs and off site effects and maximise yield and quality.

Teasing Apart The Threads Of Staple Strength, Andrew Peterson
Teasing Apart The Threads Of Staple Strength, Andrew Peterson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A successful partnership between two local inventors and Agriculture WA's Wool Program has created a new instrument which, just like the growth rings of trees, can show seasonal changes in the fibre diameter of wool. This will have considerable value to the wool industry as Andrew Peterson explains.
Bean Yellow Mosiac Virus In Lupins, Roger Jones
Bean Yellow Mosiac Virus In Lupins, Roger Jones
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) is a threat to lupin crops in high rainfall areas of south-western Australia, particularly in districts where subterranean clover pastures are prevalent. The disease causes markedly reduced grain yield in all types of lupins. Worldwide this is the most important virus affecting lupins. The author outlines the symptoms, spread and management of this serious disease.
