Control Of Capeweed Prior To Sowing Crop., J. R. Pierce, B. J. Rayner

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

All treatments gave significant yield benefits over the untreated. Mixtures containing diuron did not cause any significant crop damage although yields on three of the treatments using 1.5 L/ha were low despite the good weed control.

Tolerance Of Ceral Varieties To Grasp, R. Madin, J. Buckley

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

The site remained mostly weed free throughout the season apart from some invasion by crassula spp. between plots. Some site variation was reflected in yield variation between replicates. The effects of Grasp on all varieties of wheat and Schooner barley were evident soon after spraying.

Crop Establishment, R. Madin, J. Buckley

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial effect of timing of Roundup CT and Spray.Seed application and cultivation on crop establishment and growth.
87WH53, 87NO85

The general tendency was for yield to decrease as the time to seeding after Spray.Seed application increased.
For trial 87NO85 the site was a 'problem', heavy textured soil where crop emergence problems following glyphosate had been experienced in previous years.

Crop establishment - time of seeding following herbicide application.
87A37

Use of a knockdown herbicide greatly increased yield when compared to the unsprayed treatments. Further work is required to resolve contrasting results.

Evaluation Of Additives With Bracken Herbicides Applied To Boomsprayer., R. Madin, J. Buckley

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Treatments were applied in December 1987. Height of the Bracken made application by boom difficult due to inability to adequately raise the boom to give clearance. Some brushing of the Bracken with the boom was unavoidable. Assessment of the trial will be made in March 1988.

Effects Of Residue Levels Of Glean On Lupin Growth, And Possible Synergism By Hoegrass., Terry Piper, Patrick Pigott

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87PE37

This trial was conducted to confirm the results of 86WH53 and 87WH64. The trial commenced in September and in a glasshouse thus temperatures were higher and growth faster then in the field trials.
There are no significant effects of soil applied Glean or Hoegrass, and no interaction between the two herbicides.
In contrast, there is a very significant stunting of plants by Glean applied post emergence if Hoegrass is co-applied, but not by Glean alone.

Rates Of Ally And Glean For Cape Tulip Control., R. Madin, J. Buckley

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Evaluation in 1987 indicated that Ally and Glean at all rates gave 100% control of Cape Tulip at York with minimal pasture affect on species other than clover.

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 97NO95

Control of small leaved Oxalis - Logran gave reasonable control. Post seeding treatments using Isoproturon gave very poor control.

Control of Oxalis purpurea (Four O'clock) - Logran either as a single application or a mixture with Isoproturon gave best control.

Control of clover - Isoproturon 4 L (post), Ally and Logran (40 g) gave 100% control.

Control of erodium - Logran gave very poor control.

Control of grasses - Isoproturon 2 & 4 Li/ha post emergent gave the best control of grasses.

The Demography Of Doublegee. Ecological Studies On Arum Lily., F. D. Panetta

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

3.1 Growth of doublegees under summer irrigation. (87A40)

The weevil, Perapion antiquum is a potential biological control agent of doublegee. However, it exhibits large population crashes during the summer months in the summer-dry areas of the Western Caped of South Africa, where it is native. It has been suggested that one means of successfully establishing Perapion in Western Australia could be to maintain populations in 'oases' over the summer months. The aim of this experiment was to determine how readily doublegee could be maintained in a non-senescent phase under irrigated and shaded conditions.

Control Of Soursob (Oxalis Pres-Caprae) In Cereals, J. R. Pierce, B. J. Rayner

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87NO107

Plant counts for soursob and Four O'clock will be more accurate when counts taken after the break of 1988 season to determine the bulb production from last season.

Ally gave good control of doublegee. Isoproturon or mixtures with Isoproturon also gave good doublegee control. Logran & Glean were weak on doublegee.

Control Of Four O'Clock (Oxalis Purpurea) In Cereals., J. R. Peirce, B. J. Rayner

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87KA85

Because of the late dry season, yields were below expected. Under these conditions there were high visual crop damages recorded early after the treatments applied.

Chemical Control Of Skeleton Weed., J. R. Peirce, B. J. Rayner

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial PE17

Tordon 50 D & Lontrel L appear to be the only chemicals that will give effective reduction in the density of skeleton weed. However both these chemicals also removed all other broadleaved weeds present (capeweed, clover and flatweed), leaving the treated areas grass dominant.

Lincoln Weed Control In Cereals And Pasture., I. Hudson, R. Ramm

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87LG62 - Lincoln weed control in cereals.

Blanket treatment with Glyphosate controlled some ryegrass. Additional treatment with Glean killed nearly all the ryegrass and gave the best kill of Lincoln weed.

Trial 87LG63 - Control of weed in pasture.

Ally and Glean although giving control, would be considered too phytotoxic to use on legume pastures. Applications of 2,4-D amine at 1 L would give marginal safety on Subterranean clovers, but would cause significant damage to medics.

Evaluation Of New Pasture Legume Species In Terms Of Summer Feeding Value And Effects On Wool Production., S E. Flecker, C W. Thorn, J. B. Rowe, Tess Casson

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

86KA71, Pasture legumes improve the feeding value of summer pastures in a mediterranean-type environment by maintaining the protein intake of grazing animals over the dry summer period, much of which comes from the ingestion of legume burr (A.D. Wilson and N.L. Hindley, 1968). Some of the most important species of pasture legumes to have been released commercially are Trifolium subterraneum (sub.clover), Medicago truncatula (barrel medic) and Medicago polymorpha (burr medic) (D.B. Purser, G.B. Taylor and W.J. Collins, 1987). What little information is available on the feeding value of these species suggests that barrel medic pod (H. Brownlee, 1973) and dry …
