The Tolerance Of Legumes To Broadleaf Herbicides., P. Stewart, L. Mann

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87KA52

The control of broadleaf weeds in leguminous pasture is of major concern because of the ability of these weeds to compete strongly with the leguminous plants. The presence of broadleaf weeds in pasture reduces the pastures nutritional value as well as total nitrogen fixation. There are many herbicides which are available to control broadleaf weeds, but most of these are registered for use in cereals. The amount of tolerance that leguminous pasture plants show to many of these herbicides and herbicide mixes is not known.

The experiments were designed to screen a large number of herbicides for legume …

Phenological And Reproductive Development Of The Four Major Grass Species, P. Stewart, L. Mann

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87KA51

The decision of when to spray is one of the major difficulties encountered when spraytopping grassy pasture for seed set control. Previous work has shown the general herbicide application timing window for the major grasses, but within this window, the amount of seed set control achieved can still be poor. Obviously timing within this window needs to be more rigorously defined. The fundamental question we need to answer is; when do the target grasses begin to produce viable seed in relation to their phenological development and in relation to other grass species? If we know this, then herbicide …

Post Emergence Weed Control In Lupins., R. Madin, J. Buckley

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

As a general assessment in can be said that Tigrex is a safe and efficient herbicide for control of radish in wheat. Brodal alone was generally unsatisfactory for radish control. While Diuron + Brodal was safe and efficient, Ally and Brodal should not be used together. Diuron + MCPA gave poorer control than one would normally expect.

Control Of Doublegee In Sub. Clover And Medic Pastures., P. Stewart, L. Mann

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87ME61, 87ME68, 87WH49, 87ES39, 87NO80(B), 87NO80, 87WH67.

Doublegees in pasture are a major concern of many farmers in most of the agricultural areas in Western Australia. In pasture, doublegees tend to compete strongly the first year after crop and then decline in subsequent years. When cropped, doublegees again appear in large numbers. Unfortunately, the WADA recommendation for doublegee control in pasture of Tribunil at 850 g/ha is now very expensive at $17/ha. A possible alternative is 2,4-D amine, but medics are very sensitive to this. 2,4-DB is another recommendation, but this tends to have low efficacy against doublegees and …

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.
