A New Approach To Grain Insect Control, G D. Rimes, M. T. Sexton
A New Approach To Grain Insect Control, G D. Rimes, M. T. Sexton
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Western Australian farmers now have a legal responsibility to control stored grain insects on their farms.
Ten species of insects, usually referred to collectively as 'weevils', have been 'declared' under the Agriculture and Related Resources Act.
In Western Australia, grain storage insects are not found in standing cereal crops. Thus, it should be possible to set up a clean delivery "pipeline" from the paddock to the C.B.H. bin.
Phosphorus Fertilisers For W.A. Farming, Michael D A Bolland
Phosphorus Fertilisers For W.A. Farming, Michael D A Bolland
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Phosphorus is one of the major nutrients essential to plants. Eithout the use of phosphorus fertilisers, few soils in Western Australian sagricultural areas would be agriculturaly productive.
Superphosphate has been the major source of phosphorus fertiliser used in W. A..
Now there is a possibility that the alternatives to superphosphate may be cheaper
The European Wasp : A New Threat To W.A, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
The European Wasp : A New Threat To W.A, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The European wasp was detected in Western australia for the first time in January and February 1977 in the metropolitan suburbs of Mosman Park, Cottesloe and Attadale.
So far it has only been found within an area of 8 km radius from Fremantle but the outer boundries of the infestation are still uncertain.
It is Department of agriculture policy to eradicate the European wasp, if possible, and to destroy all nests detected.
Annual Dipping Is A Costly Business, F C. Wilkinson
Annual Dipping Is A Costly Business, F C. Wilkinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
When sheep dipping was compulsory, lice infestations and their control could have been costing the sheep industry in Westrn Australi as much as $8 million a year.
On March 1, 1977 compulsory annual sheep dipping ended.
This raises the question of whether an owner should dip sheep.
A Logical Approach To Wheatbelt Water Supply, Stanley Thomas Smith
A Logical Approach To Wheatbelt Water Supply, Stanley Thomas Smith
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
My particular task in this seminar (paper) has been to enunciate a logical approach to water recource utilisation in the wheatbelt, based on the points made by the speakers.
Trends In Viticultural Production, W R. Jamieson
Trends In Viticultural Production, W R. Jamieson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The viricultural industries are in one of their cyclical downturns. This is nothing new!
What is new is that new factors are coming into play whose exact significance is unknown but will have an important bearing on the economics of a viticultural enterprise.

Sources Of Nitrogen For Cereals : Urea, Ammonium Nitrate Or Sulphate Of Ammonia?, M G. Mason
Sources Of Nitrogen For Cereals : Urea, Ammonium Nitrate Or Sulphate Of Ammonia?, M G. Mason
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Results and conclusions from numerous trials comparing sources of nitrogen for cereal crops give a guide to choice of fertiliser and the time and method of application.
Ryegrass Disease Could Spread, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Ryegrass Disease Could Spread, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The disease annual ryegrass toxicity kills sheep and cattle grazing pastures which contain infected annual ryegrass. In Western Australia the first confirmed outbreak was in 1968 in the Gnowangerup area.
The disease has noe spread over a range of 450 kilometres and with a total area of perhaps 100 000 hectares. because annual ryegrass is the major sown pasture grass in W.A. the disease could spread throughout the South-West.
There are some precautions that can be taken.
Economics Of Vine Growing, K R. Rutter
Economics Of Vine Growing, K R. Rutter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Heavy demands are made on capital and labour recources throughout the five year dvelopment phase of a vineyard.
Labour and capital requirements vary considerably, but the following gives a look at one example of the costs involved.
W.A. Alert For Aphid On Lucerne, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
W.A. Alert For Aphid On Lucerne, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The spotted alfalfa aphid which is devastating lucerne crops in the Eastern States, could be introduced to Western Australia on lucerne hay which is fed en route to imported livestock. The Department of Agriculture has therefore alerted all inspection points about the possible danger.
The Department of Agricultureis maintaining traps specifically for the aphid, and has found no evidence of it yet.
Economics Of Farm Water Supplies, P P. Eckersley
Economics Of Farm Water Supplies, P P. Eckersley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The economics of farm water supplies can be studied in two ways. One is to compare the costs of alternative ways of supplying a specified quantity of water to a farm. Another is to calcu;ate how mucha farmer can afford or will pay for a water supply.
I propose to look at these questions from the point of vieew of an eastern wheatbelt farmer, assuming that he must pay the full costs of any water supply provided for his property.
Minimum Tillage For Crop Planting, Geoffrey A. Pearce
Minimum Tillage For Crop Planting, Geoffrey A. Pearce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
this article is condensed from a report of studies of minimum tillage systems and research in the United Kingdom and North america during 1976.
The author, Mr Geoff Pearce, is a Senior Research Officer in the Department of Agriculture's Weed Agronomy Section. He has been associated with reduced tillage research in Western Australia for several years and undertook the study tour to gain the benefit of intensive overseas research on the subject.
Cost Of Farm Water Supplies : Conclusions From Surveys, I A F Laing
Cost Of Farm Water Supplies : Conclusions From Surveys, I A F Laing
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the Farm Water Supply Advisory Committee, has conducted farm wster supply surveys in many districts in the wheatbelt.
The aim of the surveys was to collect data to assess the existing water supplies, the potential for further water supply developments and to compare the relative difficulty of water supply development in different localities.
