Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

83WH29: The effect of various crop and pasture species on the growth of a subsequent wheat crop. Aim: To characterise the effect of various crop and pasture species on the growth and yield components of a subsequent wheat crop with special emphasis on the nitrogen nutrition of that crop. To provide validation data for modelling wheat growth and nitrogen uptake. Measurements: Factors to be monitored through time were; Soil moisture profiles; Mineral nitrogen profiles; Root growth profiles; Top growth and nitrogen uptake; Development score; Incidence of disease and pests.

Soil Acidity Survey. Lime Responses In The Central Wheatbelt, P J. Dolling

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Introduction: In 1984 a project commenced to examine the influence of soil acidity on barley production in the main barley growing areas of Western Australia. To carry out some of the projects objectives a soil survey was carried out.

Aims: 1. To select nine sites for liming trials in 1985. 2. To obtain more information about the soil acidity problem in the medium rainfall region of W.A. 3. To determine if there is a relationship between the pH and aluminium content of the soil.

Survey details: Area covered - Katanning and Narrogin District Office (DO) areas. Sampling period - Mid …
