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.

Lupin Trials, J Moore

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trials in lupins this year concentrated on testing herbicide for post emergence use in lupins. Of the 20 herbicides tested 12 did not cause significant decreases in crop density and/or yield. However, weed control was often poor and the herbicide phytotoxicity tended to vary between sites. (Chapman, Badgingarra and Avondale). The Chapman and Avondale trials were not harvested because of drought. Trials in 1978 should determine if any of the herbicides tested can safely be recommended. Lupins - summary. Post emergence lupin herbicides (Badgingarra Research Station) - 77BA36. Post emergence herbicides for lupins (Chapman Research Station) - 77C18. Post emergence …

Cereal Foliage Disease Survey, T N. Khan, A. G. P. Brown

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Cereal Foliage Disease Survey A dry season reduced disease to insignificant levels (as measured by this survey) in all areas except the south west. Late rains may have produced some damage to wheat by S. nodorum however but this was probably confined to southern areas. In barley net blotch which has been declining re appeared a major disease in 1977 excepting high rainfall areas, where scald continued to be severe. The level of scald infection was considerably lower which may be associated with relatively higher temperatures and low rainfall. Variety Clipper continued to show high degree of tolerance to net …

Minimum Tillage Trials 1977, G. A. Pearce

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Minimum tillage trials 1977. Locations: Wongan Hills R.S., Avondale, Merredin, Mt. Barker, Esperance. Sites: At each station two sites were used, the first was under crop in 1976 and the trial will be repeated each year on the same area. The second site was under pasture in 1976 and was due to be cropped in 1977 as part of the normal district practice. The trials will be planted on a similar pasture site in 1978. Results. Apart from crop yields, weed counts (before spraying) and crop plant numbers were taken. Other measurements were made by various research officers and reported …

Longevity Of Doublegee Seed Under Continuous Pasture, D J. Gilbey

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Locality: Avondale, Wongan Hills and Chapman Research Stations. Background. Since 1974 pegged areas on the three research stations have been under continuous pasture and have been sampled annually to study the fate of the viable doublegee seed population. Each site was sprayed for doublegee control in the growing season before the first samples were taken in late summer of 73/74. The sites were again sprayed in the 1974 growing season except for Wongan Hills. The Wongan Hills site was cropped in 1976 and no further data is available. 74C7, 75WH65, 75WH66, 76AL11, 76C9, 76C6, 77C3, 77GE9, 77LC26, 77ME28, 77M028, 77N034, …

Object: To study (i) the possibility of field inoculation in developing net blotch epidemic, and (ii) the varietal differences in disease development amongst commercial cultivars. Experimenal: 2 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement in split plot design with three replications at Avondale Research Station (77A29) and Newdegate Research Station (77N20). Treatments: Benlate spraying vs. no spraying (main plots), natural infection vs. field inoculation with conidial suspension (sub plots), and 5 varieties (sub sub plots) including a 1:1 mixture of varieties Beecher and Dampier. The benlate spray is known to have no effect of net blotch and it was applied mainly …
