Bulletin No 3994 - Kikuyu Grass : Establishment, Management And Utilisation In The South West., R. Sprivulis

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum), kikuyu for short, is a summer growing turf-forming perennial. In the absence of winter frosts and with sufficient summer moisture it remains green all year round. It is a vigorous and aggressive grass spreading by means of prostrate above and below ground stems rooting at the nodes. Some selections and recent introductions of this species are fertile and produce seed. The seeds, when eaten by stock, can be widely spread in their droppings.

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Seed yields of early maturing subterranean clovers. A brief description of weather conditions in 1977, site details and results of germination counts and growth ratings were included in the Summary Report for 1977. Drill-sown trials - Seed yields from the trials varied from good in the southern wheatbelt to very poor in the northern areas. Test samples were taken from trials 77GE32, 77GE40 and 77GE41 in the Pindar and Tardun districts, 77ME22 at Koorda and 77TS25 at Perenjori but the quantity of seed did not warrant yield assessment. Trial 77M022 at Gabalong was not sampled. Seed yields from the rest …

Bulletin 4048: Salt Land And What To Do About It, C V. Malcolm

Bulletins 4000 -

Since the development of land for agriculture in Western Australia more than 1 600 square kilometres of land has become too saline for normal crops and pasture, and the area is increasing. Much of this land was previously the most fertile crop land and on some farms salinity constitutes a major problem.

The purpose of this booklet is to impart an understanding of the nature and cause of saltland in Western Australia. The methods of treatment are explained in the light of this understanding. The material in the booklet is based on a detailed review 'Soil salinity in South Western …
