Factors Affecting Frost Damage To Wheat In Western Australia, S P. Loss
Factors Affecting Frost Damage To Wheat In Western Australia, S P. Loss
Division of Plant Research : Technical Report Series
It may at first seem strange that precious research funds are being channelled into a project concerned with frost damage in a country where high temperatures and moisture stress limit the growth of plants for a large portion of the year. But cereal crops are only grown in the temperate zones of the continent during winter and spring when they may be exposed to low diurnal temperatures. In many areas cold damage is irregular and rare,however it limits yields not only by causing actual damage but also by restricting the most effective period for flowering. For muck of the Australian …

The Esperance Rotation Trial, Effect Of Rotations On Crop Yields And Soil Fertility, I C. Rowland
Division of Plant Research : Technical Report Series
This report sets out and summarises data from the Esperance rotation trial.This long-term trial, situated on the Esperance Downs Research Station, looks at various aspects of rotations based on subterranean clover pasture with cereals or sweet lupins as a crop. Data included are yields of the crops both grain and dry matter at anthesis or mid-pod fill also nitrogen content at these two times; pasture production and composition in Spring; clover seed production; weed counts in the crop; soil measurements of total soil nitrogen,organic carbon, mineral nitrogen, pH and extractable potassium are done at thestart of each season.The trial, on …
