Harvesting Methods In South Coastal, High Rainfall Crops, Richard Snowball
Division of Plant Research : Technical Report Series
Results of trials carried out in south-western Australia over the past three years have shown that swathing or windrowing cereal and legume crops can result in significant advantages to growers.Swathing barley, wheat and oat crops at Mt. Barker resulted in large yield advantages over direct harvesting of standing crops. This was a result of overcoming shedding losses in the standing crop caused by strong wind and rain. Grain quality of barley and oats was not significantly affected by swathing, however, the quality of swathed wheat was sometimes worse than direct harvested grain if the harvest was delayed.Swathing cereals at Newdegate …

Nitrogen Fertiliser Use For Cereal Hay Production, M G. Mason
Nitrogen Fertiliser Use For Cereal Hay Production, M G. Mason
Division of Plant Research : Technical Report Series
Aspects of the effect of nitrogen fertilizers on cereal hay production in twenty-one experiments carried out over eight seasons were investigated.Areas investigated include the effects of rate and time of application of nitrogen fertilizer, sowing rate, date of sowing, crop species and variety and time of cutting on cereal hay yield, nitrogen content and digestibility.Response to nitrogen fertilizers in hay and grain production varied but profitable responses were more common, and optimum rates were higher for hay than for grain. Average optimum rates for hay were 51 to 88 kg nitrogenha-1 and for grain 0 to 44 kg nitrogen ha-1. …
