Time Of Planting And Rate Of Seeding On Lupin Yield, G Walton Jan 1973

Time Of Planting And Rate Of Seeding On Lupin Yield, G Walton

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Of the four time of planting trials twodefinitely showed superiority of earlier seeding (73BA5, 73E6). The two trials in the Southwest (73BR14 and 73MT7) gave highest yields with June sowing compared to May. Three trials (73BR14, 73E6 and 73BA5) appear to have a Variety x Time interaction for plant density, but no definite trend for either Uniharvest or Unicrop although later sowing reduced plant density. Seeding rates in excess of 82 kg/ha gave the highest yields in all trials. The rate of seeding experiments (73BA5 and 73MT7) show that the best crop density for yield (graph) lies between 8 and …

1973_Pasture Species Investigations - Wheatbelt, N. R. Mckeown

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Results from trials comparing the growth and persistence of a number of annual pasture legumes in 1973 are presented in this report. Rainfall conditions during the year are described briefly and a table of annual and growing season rainfall at relevant centres is appended. The experiments are grouped as follows according to average annual rainfall:- Zone A - Average annual rainfall 400 mm. Zone B - Average annual rainfall 345 - 400 mm. Zone C - Average annual rainfall 345 mm. and then further on soil type. 70GE4, 70ME3, 70ME4, 70NA3, 70TS2, 70TS5, 71LG16, 71TS22, 72LG3, 72LG26,


1973 Rates Of Phosphate On Lupin Yield, G Walton Jan 1973

1973 Rates Of Phosphate On Lupin Yield, G Walton

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Comments on Results - New Land sites (Graphs 1, 2) - The three sites were very responsive with the point of inflexion about 600 kg/ha super rate (similar to 1972 result). The seed x super rate interaction shows the quicker response to super with higher seeding rates. Low Super Bank (800 kg/ha) (GRAPH 3) - The two sites showed very little response to super applied. On the Eradu sandplain no response to super for either Unicrop or Wheat. On the Watheroo yellow sandplain (73M015) the two lupin cultivers and the wheat gave different responses. High Super Bank (>1 OOOkg/ha) …
