Farming Systems Consultancy Australian Co-Operation With The National Agricultural Research Project Thailand, D A. Morrison

All other publications

The purpose of this consultancy is to strengthen farming systems research methodology in the Thai Department of Agriculture (DOA) and in particular, the Department's Farming Systems Research Institute (FSRI). It follows from:

(i) the consultancy of Martin (1984) who found that DOA staff were having difficulty working out how to analyse farming systems; and

(ii) the three month stay in Australia of Pairat Duangpiboon to introduce him to the modelling techniques used in the Western Australian Department of Agriculture to analyse farming systems.

Metribuzin Tolerance Of Blade Wheat, D Bowran

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88C29

This site was seeded with the culti-trash seeder which sowed the crop greater than 10 cm deep. Due to the inversion of metribuzin treated soil onto the seed, the deep seeding and short coleoptile of Blade, all IBS treatments were reduced in yield with the exception of Lexone + Logran.

Trial 88WH69

Blade showed good tolerance to metribuzin at this site and it is was only at the 400 g of the Lexone/ha rate the yield reductions were obtained with the IAS and Z12-13 treatments.

Trial 88N74

Blade wheat tolerace to metribuzin was good both IBS and IAS, …

Tolerance Of New Cereal Varieties To Current Herbicides., D Bowran

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88EB26

While this site had a low population of weeds no yield increases were apparent. Few variety differeces were apparent at this site, though Hoegrass + Glean reduced yield of Crabook significantly.

Trial 88EC27

Few crop effects were experienced at this site. The major effect was due to variable fertility in replicates 3 and 4 and this resulted in the somewhat uyp and down nature for the Glean, Logran and hoegrass results.

Trial 88SC32

This site had a major problem with soil acidity and only triticale and oats grew satisfactorily. Barley was strongly influenced by the acidity and many …

Selection And Development Of Early Maturing Varieties Of Murex Medic., D. J. Gillespie

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88A25, 88MO44, 88NA83, 88AL15

Location: Avondale, New Norcia, Darkan, Cranbrook, Arthur River, Kellerberrin North Quairdading, Gabalong, Merredin, Badgebup and Pingrup.

Over 300 recent overseas introductions of murex medic were evaluated in rows at South Perth in 1988. Of these 15 selections were identified with acceptable spinniness that flower in 100 days or less. Four years ago there was only one selection flowering in under 110 days and that was spiny!

These selections will be evaluated in small plot trials in several country sites in 1989.

This programme aims to identify superior varieties to Zodiac which was released in 1988.

Lupin Variety Tolerance To Herbicides, D Bowran, R Watson

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88EC31

This site received a basal treatment of 1.5 L of simazine/ha prior to seeding. Due to a heavy stubble load lupin seed was dropped onto the surface and lightly incorporated.

High rates of Simazine were better tolerated by Gungurru 75A/260 and CE2/435. The highest rate of Brodal reduced yields in all varieties except Gungurru.

Trial 88EB27

This site was severely infested with aphids and bean mosaic virus such that the varieties Illyarrie and Danja had up to 60% plant death by anthesis. Other varieties were affected but to a lesser extent.

Demographic Responses To The Chemical Control Of Doublegee, Dpird

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial No. 88WH58

Doublegee demography in cereal crops.

Objective: To measure reproductive output in relation to times of emergence and herbicide application.

Trial No. 88WH10

Growth of doublegee under summer irrigation.

Objectives: A major impediment to achieving biological control of any annual weed in the wheat belt is that the bicontrol agent must have a means of aestivation. Since the only insect to have been introduced to Australia for a the control of doublegee does not aestivate, it was thought that populations could be able to oversummer in irrigated doublegee standards. The aim of this study was to assess the …
