Erosion Risks With High Stocking Rates At Kojonup Trial, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Erosion Risks With High Stocking Rates At Kojonup Trial, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A pasture grazing trial at Kojonup dramatically illustrated the effects of Cyclone Alby. Severe erosion was evident on the heavily stocked plots while the more lightly stocked plots showed little damage.
Sand Dune Project Stabilises Erosion, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Sand Dune Project Stabilises Erosion, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Read how the Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service and the Department of Conservation and Environment worked with the Rockingham Shire to upgrade the road and protect the sand dunes.
Saving The State From Rabbits, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Saving The State From Rabbits, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A thoughtful look at the rise and fall of rabbit populations in Western Astralia and the work done to achive the current levels.
Contour Cultivation : Cheap Erosion Control, T R. Negus, B. Barrett
Contour Cultivation : Cheap Erosion Control, T R. Negus, B. Barrett
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Although the benefits of contour cultivation are well recognised, it makes cultivation more difficult, particularly if the paddock is split by contour banks and grassed waterways. However, a comparison east of Pingelly indicates that contour cultivation is little more expensive or time-consuming than ordinary cultivation.
How Saltland Can Be Reclaimed, A J. Peck
How Saltland Can Be Reclaimed, A J. Peck
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Some possibilities for reclamation of saltland.
The Causes Of Saltland : A Case Study At Esperance, P R. George, S. C. Bull
The Causes Of Saltland : A Case Study At Esperance, P R. George, S. C. Bull
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A series of bores on the Esperance Downs Research Station has demonstrated that the groundwater levels change after clearing, and the relatiojnnship between groundwater levels and soil salinity has been emphasised. This pattern of hydrological change leading to soil salinity problems applies widely in the wheatbelt.
Pulling The Wool Off, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Pulling The Wool Off, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Department of Agriculture has begun a three year project to study the potential for "chemical shearing" or, more correctly, biological defleecing.
There's Little To Choose Between Scarifier Points, C R. Lester
There's Little To Choose Between Scarifier Points, C R. Lester
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Tests on scarifier points showed that methods of treating them to prolong their life had little effect.
Managing Water-Repellent Soils, D A. Mcghie
Managing Water-Repellent Soils, D A. Mcghie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A study of water-repellent soils has led to some management recommendations.
