Leaf Diseases Of Wheat And Time Of Sowing, J M. Wilson
Leaf Diseases Of Wheat And Time Of Sowing, J M. Wilson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Leaf diseases of wheat can be avoided by delaying the planting of a crop, but this often leads to reduced yield because the benefits of early sowing usually outweigh anylosses caused by leaf disease.
However, it is only in exceptional circumstances that farmers need to consider leaf disease when making decisions about planting date, as this article shows. Most examples are taken from department of Agriculture trials in its northern advisory region, but the principals apply to other agricultural areas.
Choking Of Milking Machine Pulsators, G R. Olney
Choking Of Milking Machine Pulsators, G R. Olney
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE value of applying the teat cup squeezing action more slowly, by "choking", has been well demonstrated for a number of years.
Leslie and Whittlestone (1938) suggested that brutal teat cups and snappy pulsators could be undesirable because of the trauma caused.
Choking was recommended by them to overcome this.
