Residual Value Of Legumes., J. Hamblin, R. Delane, G. Adam, A Bishop

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

This report examines the residual value of lupins and several other species grown at ECRS in 1984 on the yield of wheat in 1985 (85 C 25). 85 C 46 examined the residual effect of several lupin species and varieties grown under different nutritional treatments in 1984 at two sites differing in rainfall on wheat yields in 1985. 85 C 47 examines the interaction between levels of applied potassium and deep cultivation (ripping) on the yield of wheat at a low K, dry site.

Report on 85 C 27, 85 C 46 and 85 C 47.

Influence Of Soil Acidity On Barley Production., P. J. Dolling, A. R. Little

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

A soil survey of 38 sites in barley growing areas of Western Australia was carried out in 1984. It was found that 53% of topsoils surveyed had a pH less than 5.5, acid enough to suspect barley yields might be affected. In 1985 an extensive field trial proqramme was established at 9 sites. The sites were selected from the 1984 survey and they varied in their level of acidity from mild to severe. 85NA, 85NA2, 85NA5, 85NA4, 85NA3, 85KA3, 85KA4, 85KA5, 85KA6, 83N046,

Fungicidal Control Of Wheat Leaf Diseases, A G P Brown

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

In a further experiment on fungicides to protect wheat during flowering and grain fill from Septoria nodorurn at Badgingarra Research Station, rates below 1 litre and lower carrier volumes were compared for the fungicide Tilt applied at Zadoks stage 50. A few other fungicides were also included. At spraying there was a moderate infection by Septoria nodorurn (85% of leaf damage), Septoria tritici (10%) and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (5%). Good control was obtained with most treatments (Table 1) with only Benlate at 1 kg/ha appearing ineffective when percentage disease was rated on October 10, 1985. At October 17 disease scores differed …
