Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Please find enclosed a summary of results obtained from a range of field trials. These include a study of some techniques to replace undesirable cultivars of subterranean clover; the competitive ability of some subterranean clovers; the evaluation of the sub clover cultivars, Dinninup 3, Midland B,some members of subspeciesYanninicum, the medic cultivars Cyfield and Tornafield; and the preliminary results from an exotic pasture species introduction trial at Shark Bay. In most cases complete results have been or will be circulated in report form.

"1970· Progress Eight of the 5 unreplicated trials were cropped without fertiliser. Seven were harvested (severe weed infestation ruined 66KA 7). Three trials left under pasture responded to the fertiliser treatments and were cut for dry matter production. The remaining four trials left under pasture grew badly, became weed dominant and were not rated for growth differences between treatments or cut for dry matter production. The replicated trials at Avondale and Newdegate were also cropped, without fertiliser. The replicated trials at Wongan Hills Research Station and Chapman did not visually respond to treatments and were not cut. 69WHl5 succumbed to …

SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER INOCULATION EXPERIMENTS Badgingarra and Newdegate Comparisons between Rhizobium trifolii strain WU290 and possible replacement strains were continued. The work was conducted for the following reasons 1. The need for information on "back-up" strains particularly since the inoculant manufacturers had experienced difficulty in producing high-count peat cultures of WU290. 2. Strain CC2480a had proved very satisfactory in the Eastern States. Although it did not show up to advantage under our conditions in 1968,further testing was indicated. 3. The need for information on inoculation needs on old land.

'Gilros' Pastoral Co. 1969. \ ; Clover Cul ti var Grazing Trial, Gilros Pastoral Cc;>. , · North Bannister. The aim of the trial is to investigate the production of eight subterranean clover cultivars under continuous grazing. The cultivars differ in their growth characteristics and content of ~· · oestrogenic compounds. After establishing the trial in May,1968, grazing was commenced in November, 1968. Following shearing in April, 1969, the stocking rate was increased from 2.2 and 3.0 sheep /acre to· 3.0 …

The 1969/70 Experimental Programme was the evaluation of pasture species, which includes both introductory evaluation in small plots and evaluation of the most promising pastures under the influence of grazing animals. GRAZING TRIALS The continuation of the evaluation of Uniwager and Daliak subclovers in two series of trials: Series 2 (medium rainfall) (2575Ex) - 68TS12 (Eneabba) 68NA15 (Bullaring) 68LG17 (East Pingrup) Series 3 (low rainfall) (2576Ex) 68GE9 (Gutha) 68M024 (Kirwin) 68ME13 (Nokaning) The comparison of Tornafield medic with suitable subclovers (2709Ex); 69M017 (Watheroo) and 69LG24 (Lake Grace).
