A Comparison Of Methods Of Urea Application At Ajana, M G. Mason, R. J. Parkin, H. Patrick
A Comparison Of Methods Of Urea Application At Ajana, M G. Mason, R. J. Parkin, H. Patrick
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Compared with urea application separate from the seed, urea mixed with wheat seed delayed and reduced wheat germination, and reduced wheat yields, especially at high rates of urea.
Yields were higher where the urea was topdressed immediately before seeding than where it was top-dressed either immediately after, or two weeks after seeding.

Home Mixing Or Purchased Feeds?, P Mcnamara
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FEED is the largest single cost in pig production, so any saving which can be made will be of major importance.
Tallow As A Substitute For Butterfat In The Diet Of A Young Calf, R. Sprivulis
Tallow As A Substitute For Butterfat In The Diet Of A Young Calf, R. Sprivulis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WHILE cow's milk is the best food for a young calf it is also very expensive.
The normal substitute for whole milk is skim milk, but removing the butterfat from cow's milk reduces the dry matter content by 30 per cent and the digestible energy by 50 per cent.
Survival Feeding Of Cattle During Drought, D J. Barker, J. T. Stoate
Survival Feeding Of Cattle During Drought, D J. Barker, J. T. Stoate
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TO obtain adequate returns from the grazing of developed land, which has involved considerable capital investment, farmers may carry stock at rates which, though normally satisfactory, are too high in exceptionally poor seasons.
A look at some slternatives and their costs to maintaine the herd in drought.
More Butterfat Per Acre At Denmark Research Station, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
More Butterfat Per Acre At Denmark Research Station, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
STOCKING rates on dairy farms are generally too low and can be substantially increased, but unfortunately there is no satisfactory measurement to indicate the potential of a particular pasture or environment.
A trial carried out on Denmark Research Station in 1966-67, to obtain information on carrying capacity of a dryland kikuyu-subterranean clover pasture.
Higher Stocking Rates For Cattle On Irrigated Pasture : A Report From Wokalup Research Station, Maurice C. Cullity
Higher Stocking Rates For Cattle On Irrigated Pasture : A Report From Wokalup Research Station, Maurice C. Cullity
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The possibility that higher cattle stocking rates than those commonly used could be economical was suggested by the results of a stocking rate trial at Wokalup Research Station
Hay And Pasture Digestibility Measured In The Laboratory, D N. Tulloch
Hay And Pasture Digestibility Measured In The Laboratory, D N. Tulloch
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A recently developed " i n vitro" (laboratory) method of determining the digestibility of hay and pastures is giving good results in the Department of Agriculture's Dairy Laboratory.
Superphosphate For Wheatbelt Pastures : Rates Of Application, Walter Jacob Cox
Superphosphate For Wheatbelt Pastures : Rates Of Application, Walter Jacob Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BECAUSE Western Australian soils are low in phosphorus, frequent applications of superphosphate are required for both crop and pasture production. The recommended rates are determined from the results of field experiments that test different quantities of super and measure the extra yield.
This article discusses the recommended rates of superphosphate in relation to soil type and superphosphate history. Methods of application and time of topdressing are also discussed.
Sheep Management During Drought, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Sheep Management During Drought, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Experiencing a drought can be likened to fighting a war.
This article looks at alternatives and costs of maintaining the flock during the drought.
High Stocking Rate On Kikuyu Dairy Pasture : Progress Report On Grazing Trials On Kikuyu-Sub. Clover Pasture At Denmark Research Station, F E. Ryan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
KIKUYU is one of the most valuable pasture plants on dairy farms in the South-West of Western Australia.
It combines well with subterranean clover and ryegrass if heavily stocked, and pastures managed in this way can be cut for legume-grass hay in the spring. However, relatively little is known of its carrying capacity or potential for production under grazing.
