Root Rot Of Subterranean Clover In W.A, G C. Macnish, M. J. Barbetti, D. Gillespie, K. Hawley
Root Rot Of Subterranean Clover In W.A, G C. Macnish, M. J. Barbetti, D. Gillespie, K. Hawley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Root rot of subterranean clover has occurred sporadically in the south west of Western Australia for a number of years.
In most seasons the disease has affected the clover paddocks of only a few farms, but in 1973 there was widespread pasture decline due to root rot in the South-West and south coastal districts.
At present the most promising approaches for minimising the effect of root rot appear to be the use of cultivation techniques and eventually the use of resistant varieties, or other pasture species.
Lupinosis, M R. Gardiner
Lupinosis, M R. Gardiner
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In spite of many years of intensive investigation lupinosis remains a remarkably complex and baffling problem. Current research is throwing new light on the disease and it is now much better understood— although far from beaten.
Lupinosis research is co-ordinated by the Department of Agriculture's Lupinosis Committee, on which are represented all groups working on the disease. These include veterinary surgeons and pathologists, chemists, plant pathologists and animal husbandry specialists.
Chairman of the Committee is Dr M. R. Gardiner, Chief of the Department's Animal Division and a veteran of lupinosis research.
In this article Dr Gardiner summarises the current state …
Phomopsis : The Causal Fungus Of Lupinosis, P Mcr Wood, A. G. P. Brown
Phomopsis : The Causal Fungus Of Lupinosis, P Mcr Wood, A. G. P. Brown
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
It is now well known that lupinosis of sheep and cattle follows ingestion of lupin stubble colonised by the fungus Phomopsis rossiana. The fungus infects green lupins but persists on the stubble and under certain conditions apparently produces a toxin which causes the disease.
As Phomopsis is now widespread on lupins in Western Australia its ecology has been studied in detail as a basis for possible control measures.
This article outlines what is known so far of the disease and its control.
Sturt Pea Hosts Collar Rot Fungus, M D. Marcley
Sturt Pea Hosts Collar Rot Fungus, M D. Marcley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Evidence that Western Australia's Sturt Pea can be attacked by collar rot fungus suggests a reason for the occurrence of collar rot in places where the fungus should not survive.
At Carnarvon for instance, in spite of the hot, dry conditions, the collar rot fungus has been found on eggplants and Tuart trees.
Pressurised Soil Fumigation Equipment For Control Of Eelworm, C W. Robartson
Pressurised Soil Fumigation Equipment For Control Of Eelworm, C W. Robartson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE treatment of soil infested with eelworms involves the use of chemical fumigants usually in the form of volatile liquids.
This article gives details for the construction of a simple pressurised fumigator which could be easily made by most orchardists, vignerons and market gardeners.

Back Flushing On Milking Machine Teat Cups, G W R Scott, K. Needham
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE possibility of replacing the dipping of teat cups between cows with a system of back flushing with water has been investigated for some time by different workers.
Sclerotinia Rot Of Vegetables, S C. Chambers, M. Hardie
Sclerotinia Rot Of Vegetables, S C. Chambers, M. Hardie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
SCLEROTINIA ROT, caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is now one of the most serious vegetable diseases in metropolitan market gardens.
Over the past decade it has been steadily increasing in prevalence and if present trends continue, many growers may be forced to abandon certain crops.
Although most vegetables are susceptible, the greatest losses are occurring in the autumn planting of beans, cauliflowers and lettuce and in the production of cauliflower seed.
Sclerotinia Rot Of Beans, S C. Chambers, M. Hardie
Sclerotinia Rot Of Beans, S C. Chambers, M. Hardie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
INVESTIGATIONS over the past three years suggest trenching is the most important practice for controlling Sclerotinia rot in market gardens.
None of the remaining measures under test gave satisfactory control of the disease, although some reduced its incidence significantly.
