The Elimination Of Cultivation In Apple Orchards : A New Approach To Orchard Soil Management, S E. Hardisty
The Elimination Of Cultivation In Apple Orchards : A New Approach To Orchard Soil Management, S E. Hardisty
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE idea of eliminating cultivation in orchards suggests a reversal of accepted local practice in orchard soil management—but there is plenty of evidence to show that a noncultivation system has much in its favour.
In this article the advantages and disadvantages of the three main forms of orchard soil management are discussed and experimental evidence is presented in support of noncultivation.
An alternative method, "winter sod" culture, is proposed for irrigated orchards.
Linuron : A New Herbicide For Cereal Crops, Geoffrey A. Pearce
Linuron : A New Herbicide For Cereal Crops, Geoffrey A. Pearce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING two years of trials on both pastures and cereals Linuron has proved itself to be a valuable addition to the range of chemicals for the control of weeds in cereals.
It has a good crop tolerance safety factor and controls a wider range of weeds than most other herbicides.

Control Of Summer Weeds Around Apple Trees, N H. Shorter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE application of residual herbicides around the butts of irrigated apple trees early in summer has given good control of summer-growing weeds in recent experiments, as well as in a number of commercial orchards.

The Recent Story Of Skeleton Weed : A Menace To Our Wheat Industry, G R W Meadly
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
SKELETON WEED was first found in Western Australia at Ballidu in 1963.
No further recording was made until December of last year when a small area was located near Esperance, but, within a brief period, plants were reported from Geraldton and Kwinana.
Cultivation : Does Haste Mean Waste?, H M. Fisher
Cultivation : Does Haste Mean Waste?, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Many farmers believe that increasing the speed of cultivation and seeding implements will cause deterioration of soils and reduced crop yields.
In a three-year trial on clover ley land at Wongan Hills higher cultivation speeds tended to increase rather than decrease wheat yields. There was some deterioration in the physical structure of the soil.
