Rhizoctonia Control In Potatoes And Potato Resistance To Powdery Scab., R M. Floyd

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trials : 88BY26, 88PE34, 88MD35

Control of Rhizoctonia solani infection of potato stems and daughter tubers was demonstrated by preplanting applications of tolclofos-methyl (RIZOLEX TM) to either cut or round seed tubers. Yield of tubers from cut seed treated with Rizolex was increased over that of cut seed cured before planting bu not when seed was cut and planted the same day. Crops grown from round seed treated with Rizolex yielded higher than from untreated round seed.

Surface sterilization of seed tubers with Sodium hypochlorite was effective in reducing stem damage but not in reducing daughter tuber sclerotes. This indicates …

Seed Production And Hard Seededness Of Trifolium Subterraneum Subsp Brachycalycinum, Michael D A Bolland

Technical Bulletins

Ungrazed swards of some subsp. brachycalycinum strains produced reasonable seed yields compared with subsp. subterraneum on the sandplain soils and annual Medicago species on the alkaline mallee soils. However, in swards which were grazed by sheep up to the start of flowering, subsp. brachycalycinum produced disappointing seed yields compared with subsp. subterraneum and annual Medicago species. On a sandy soil, prevention of burr burial compared with covering developing burrs with sand drastically reduce ation an inhibiting light factor operates to drastically reduce seed production.

The project aims to develop, by breeding and selection, better adapted and more productive low-oestrogen cultivars of subterranean clover for a range of environments in southern Australia. The programme is a collaborative one with the University of Western Australia and consists of two phases (i) early generation selection, which involves selecting varieties satisfying primary selection criteria; and (ii) field evaluation of advanced lines, which is conducted by the Departments of Agriculture in each State and co-ordinated by the Plant Breeder. The first phase is conducted …

Tolerance Of New Cereal Varieties To Current Herbicides., D Bowran

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88EB26

While this site had a low population of weeds no yield increases were apparent. Few variety differeces were apparent at this site, though Hoegrass + Glean reduced yield of Crabook significantly.

Trial 88EC27

Few crop effects were experienced at this site. The major effect was due to variable fertility in replicates 3 and 4 and this resulted in the somewhat uyp and down nature for the Glean, Logran and hoegrass results.

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 88EC31

This site received a basal treatment of 1.5 L of simazine/ha prior to seeding. Due to a heavy stubble load lupin seed was dropped onto the surface and lightly incorporated.

High rates of Simazine were better tolerated by Gungurru 75A/260 and CE2/435. The highest rate of Brodal reduced yields in all varieties except Gungurru.

Trial 88EB27

This site was severely infested with aphids and bean mosaic virus such that the varieties Illyarrie and Danja had up to 60% plant death by anthesis. Other varieties were affected but to a lesser extent.

Doublegee demography in cereal crops.

Objective: To measure reproductive output in relation to times of emergence and herbicide application.

Trial No. 88WH10

Growth of doublegee under summer irrigation.

Objectives: A major impediment to achieving biological control of any annual weed in the wheat belt is that the bicontrol agent must have a means of aestivation. Since the only insect to have been introduced to Australia for a the control of doublegee does not aestivate, it was thought that populations could be able to oversummer in irrigated doublegee standards. The aim of this study was to assess the …

Control Of Peas And Lupins In Wheat, J. R. Peirce, B. J. Rayner

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87A29

Lupins were easier to kill than peas.

Glean applied pre-sowing gave very poor control of both peas and lupins.

The treatment using higher rates of 2,4-D amine in diuron mix also caused lower yields.

The Tordon 242 treatment appeared to cause some yield depression.

Effect Of Different Chemical Treatments On Capeweed Control And Crop Yield., J. R. Peirce, B. J. Rayner

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87WH60

Control of capweed was obtained using post-emergence in-crop herbicides. Good control was on most of the treatments applied before seeding.

Most products showed good ryegrass control are not usually effective, assume some other factor operating. Treatment usually associated with good ryegrass control have higher ryegrass densities than the treatments using herbicides with only broadleaved variety.

Although large reductions in density of silvergrass were obtained none was significantly better than the unsprayed. Some treatments particularly those favouring grass dominance allowed silvergrass density to build up.

Bromegrass appears to be very sensitive to competition from capeweed. Where there was high …

Trial 85TS27 / 87TS27

Saffron thistle seedling densities remained relatively constant during the first two years of the trial, irrespective of the grazing treatments' effectiveness. However on the grazing treatments where goats were preventing seed formation, once the bulk of dormant seeds had been depleted, seedling density started to decline.

Control Of Wild Statice (Limonium Sinuatum) In Pasture., B. Kimber, R. Ramm

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87LG64

Wild Statice is a prolific seeder. Glean + diuron treatments, which were not included in trial gave good control, as did the farmer's treatment using Tribunil followed by heavy grazing. Later applications may be more effective because they may prevent seed formation for that year and also prevent the plant from recovering from spraying, as apparently with the early spraying.

Most chemical treatments would cause damage to broadleaved pasture.
