Tree Crops For Profit And Land Improvement, John Bartle

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

Western Australian agriculture is deficient in good perennial species. The traditional segregation of agriculture and forestry has diverted attention from commercial wood producing trees as a potential perennial crop. Recently, scientists have made rapid progress in developing tree cropping systems suitable for extensive use in the wetter (more than 600 mm average annual rainfall) areas of the lower south-west. There is potential for a major industry based on fast-growing eucalypts for pulpwood. The foundations for this industry developed from work on agroforestry, forestry sharefarming and salinity control.

Control Of Eucalypt Regrowth, J G. Paterson

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

EUCALYPT regrowth has presented a problem to farmers throughout the State for many years.

Some species are checked by heavy grazing although, in the main, this method is far from satisfactory.
