Evaluation Of New Pasture Legume Species In Terms Of Summer Feeding Value And Effects On Wool Production., S E. Flecker, C W. Thorn, J. B. Rowe, Tess Casson
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
86KA71, Pasture legumes improve the feeding value of summer pastures in a mediterranean-type environment by maintaining the protein intake of grazing animals over the dry summer period, much of which comes from the ingestion of legume burr (A.D. Wilson and N.L. Hindley, 1968). Some of the most important species of pasture legumes to have been released commercially are Trifolium subterraneum (sub.clover), Medicago truncatula (barrel medic) and Medicago polymorpha (burr medic) (D.B. Purser, G.B. Taylor and W.J. Collins, 1987). What little information is available on the feeding value of these species suggests that barrel medic pod (H. Brownlee, 1973) and dry …

Post Emergence Weed Control In Lupins., R. Madin, J. Buckley
Post Emergence Weed Control In Lupins., R. Madin, J. Buckley
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
As a general assessment in can be said that Tigrex is a safe and efficient herbicide for control of radish in wheat. Brodal alone was generally unsatisfactory for radish control. While Diuron + Brodal was safe and efficient, Ally and Brodal should not be used together. Diuron + MCPA gave poorer control than one would normally expect.

Control Of Peas And Lupins In Wheat, J. R. Peirce, B. J. Rayner
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Trial 87A29
Lupins were easier to kill than peas.
Glean applied pre-sowing gave very poor control of both peas and lupins.
The treatment using higher rates of 2,4-D amine in diuron mix also caused lower yields.
The Tordon 242 treatment appeared to cause some yield depression.

Trial 87LG65
Glean post-em @ 10 and 15 g/ha gave good control.
