Keeping Ahead Of Powdery Mildew In Barley, T N. Khan, K. Young, P. A. Portmann
Keeping Ahead Of Powdery Mildew In Barley, T N. Khan, K. Young, P. A. Portmann
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Powdery mildew is one of the world's most significant barley diseases. In Australia, and more particularly Western Australia, its importance has been under-rated, and only recently has interest in this disease emerged.
Powdery mildew was widespread throughout Western Australia's southern cereal growing areas in 1983. Only a prolonged dry period in August and early September of that year prevented possible large-scale crop losses. Similar outbreaks occurred in 1984.
While some barley varieties are resistant to infection, the use of fungicides, particularly seed dressings, can minimise further infection.
Soil Hardpans And Plant Growth, J W. Bowden, R. J. Jarvis
Soil Hardpans And Plant Growth, J W. Bowden, R. J. Jarvis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
When farm vehicles travel over moist soils they can create hardpans which can marledly reduce crop and pasture yields.
Research at Wongan Hills Research Station has shown that plant growth and nutrient uptake were affected for at least eight years after the original workings caused the hardpan.
Beating The Blackberry, J H. Moore, E. B. Hoskins
Beating The Blackberry, J H. Moore, E. B. Hoskins
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The blackberry is an aggressive, strongly-growing plant that has spread throughout parts of the south-west of Western Australia.
Although most blackberry infestations on agricultural land have been dramatically reduced since compulsory control measures were introduced 30 years ago, about 3,600 hectares are still infested today.
Recent research has shown that three new herbicides are highly effective against blackberry, and much safer to use than the older ones.
Effective biological control of blackberry may also be possible.
Interceptor Drains And Waterlogging Control, J W. Cox, T R. Negus
Interceptor Drains And Waterlogging Control, J W. Cox, T R. Negus
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Department of Agriculture trials of seepage interceptor drains from 1972 to 1983 primarily assessed the effects of such drains on salt encroachment. Although these trials showed that the drains had little influence on salt storage within the topsoil, they did reduce waterlogging downslope.
To investigate this drainage effect further, the Department's Narrogin office surveyed 35 drains on 14 properties in the winter of 1981, followed by detailed crop measurements in December that year. Provided the drains were properly designed, surveyed and constructed, and well maintained, they could be expected to increase crop yields during a waterlogging year by about 1 …

Further Research Into Parrots And Fruit Damage, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Parrits are major pests of Western Australia's South-West fruit growing industry. The amount of damage they can cause to ripening fruit in orchards varies from season to season, but in the last two years these colourful birds have become an even greater problem.
The Agriculture Protection Board has started further research aimed at determining how wxtensive damage to fruit can be prevented.
Nitrogen And Phosphorus Compound Fertilisers, M G. Mason, J. W. Bowden
Nitrogen And Phosphorus Compound Fertilisers, M G. Mason, J. W. Bowden
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Nitrogen and phosphorus are two vitally important elements for plant growth which are deficient in most soils throughout Western Australia's agricultural areas.
Both nitrogen and phosphorus can also be applied in appropriate compound fertilisers which can be drilled with the seed, thus making their handling much easier. However, excessively high rates can depress plant emergence and may lower crop yields.

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
In a further experiment on fungicides to protect wheat during flowering and grain fill from Septoria nodorurn at Badgingarra Research Station, rates below 1 litre and lower carrier volumes were compared for the fungicide Tilt applied at Zadoks stage 50. A few other fungicides were also included. At spraying there was a moderate infection by Septoria nodorurn (85% of leaf damage), Septoria tritici (10%) and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (5%). Good control was obtained with most treatments (Table 1) with only Benlate at 1 kg/ha appearing ineffective when percentage disease was rated on October 10, 1985. At October 17 disease scores differed …

The Tolerance Of Cereals To Herbicides., D. G. Bowran
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Herbicides affect not only the weeds present in a crop, but also the crop itself. In the absence of weeds, both positive and negative responses to herbicides have been reported in the literature. The negative responses are the most important, especially if yield is decreased below the economic threshold for herbicide use. Factors which are important in determining the level of crop response to a herbicide include the crop species and variety, the timing of the herbicide, the rate of herbicide and the environmental conditions under which the crop is growing.

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
A soil survey of 38 sites in barley growing areas of Western Australia was carried out in 1984. It was found that 53% of topsoils surveyed had a pH less than 5.5, acid enough to suspect barley yields might be affected. In 1985 an extensive field trial proqramme was established at 9 sites. The sites were selected from the 1984 survey and they varied in their level of acidity from mild to severe. 85NA, 85NA2, 85NA5, 85NA4, 85NA3, 85KA3, 85KA4, 85KA5, 85KA6, 83N046,
