Minimal Soil Disturbance Sowing In New South Wales And Its Relevance To Reducing Water Erosion In Western Australia, K J. Bligh Jan 1989

Minimal Soil Disturbance Sowing In New South Wales And Its Relevance To Reducing Water Erosion In Western Australia, K J. Bligh

Resource management technical reports

During a study tour in New South Wales both inexpensive modifications to existing seeders and state of the art new mechanisms were investigated. Narrow-winged points can readily be fitted to existing tined seeders to immediately reduce water erosion in Western Australia. Press wheels may improve crop establishment, particularly with early sowing in this predominantly winter-rainfall region.

The Relationship Between The Concentration Of Total Soluble Salts And Osmotic Potential In Soil, Ground And Surface Waters For Several Regions Of Western Australia, H Borg Jan 1989

The Relationship Between The Concentration Of Total Soluble Salts And Osmotic Potential In Soil, Ground And Surface Waters For Several Regions Of Western Australia, H Borg

Resource management technical reports

In Western Australia salinity data are commonly reported in milligrams of total soluble salts per litre of solution. Laws from solution chemistry and data on the soluble salt composition for various regions of the State were combined to derive a relationship between total soluble salt concentration (C) and osmotic potential (WO) for each region. For the south-west of Western Australia, which contains the most productive agricultural areas in the Sate, this relationship is WO = 0.075 C.


Water Erosion On Vegetable Growing Land In South Western Australia, D J. Mcfarlane, N D. Delroy, H V. Gratte, J P. Middlemas, A M E Van Vreeswyk, I Mckissock Jan 1989

Water Erosion On Vegetable Growing Land In South Western Australia, D J. Mcfarlane, N D. Delroy, H V. Gratte, J P. Middlemas, A M E Van Vreeswyk, I Mckissock

Resource management technical reports

The most serious erosion was found to be occurring in the Donnybrook area due to a combination of erosive winter rainfall, steep slopes and erodible soils. The most serious erosion was found to occur when storm runoff entered the vegetable plots from above, providing a transporting medium for the cultivated soil. A predictive model of erosion showed that soil texture, furrow slope, plot length, rainfall erosivity and canopy cover were significant factors affecting soil loss.

Catchment Salinity : Report On A Study Of The East Perenjori Catchment, C J. Henschke Jan 1989

Catchment Salinity : Report On A Study Of The East Perenjori Catchment, C J. Henschke

Resource management technical reports

Dryland secondary salinisation has debilitated large areas of land in Western Australia due to clearing of native vegetation for agricultural development. The initial aim of the project (which is the subject of Part I of this report) was to establish a landscape framework for hydrogeological examination of the salinity problem. A catchment of 139 km2, located 30 km east of Perenjori townsite was selected for detailed study. It was mapped for soils, vegetation, topography, landform and salinity using both old and recent aerial photography. A field survey of soil hydraulic conductivity was undertaken to help define recharge areas. Soil-vegetation associations …
