Stubble Retention For Control Of Wind Erosion, Dan Carter, Paul Findlater, Steve Porritt
Stubble Retention For Control Of Wind Erosion, Dan Carter, Paul Findlater, Steve Porritt
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The surest way to control wind erosion in continuous cropping systems is to retain stubble. Over the past ten years, Western Australian research has focused on the amounts of stubble needed to prevent that erosion.

Cereal yields have not increased greatly in Australia over the past 30 years and they are still only about half the potential determined by rainfall. One of the reasons for these low yields is our fragile soils, worsened by traditional systems of tillage and the burning of stubble. These systems reduce the levels of organic matter and biological activity in soil

Wider Spaced Rows For Lupins, Ron Jarvis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In this farm scale trial at Wongan Hills, a lined combine was used to seed lupins into rows spaced 380 mm apart in wheat stubble.

The Pros & Cons Of Retaining Stubble, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Few farmers in Western Australia today would question the desirability of retaining crop stubble. The problem usually is how to manage stubble so that it does not interfere with other parts of the farming system

Stubble Handling Begins At Harvest, Ed Blanchard
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Long stubble left in the paddock after harvest causes major difficulties at seeding time. To demonstrate the benefits of having short stubble at seeding, the Trayning Land Conservation District Committee created four stubble treatments at harvest in 1988 and sowed into these stubble treatments in 1989.

To increase the rate of adoption of stubble retention farming systems the Grains Research and Development Corporation is funding a three-year project with the Farm Machinery Unit to develop low cost, stubble handling systems from harvest to seeding
