Dust Storms Cause Yield Losses, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia, C. H. Trotman Jan 1972

Dust Storms Cause Yield Losses, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia, C. H. Trotman

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Farmers and research workers are well aware that heavy grazing during summer loosens and exposes soil to the action of strong winds and summer thunder storms. They also realise that dust storms mean soil loss from paddocks, but until now there has been little idea of the effect of these storms on crop yields in subsequent seasons.

1972 - Part 3 - Lupin Cultivar Comparison, G H. Walton Jan 1972

1972 - Part 3 - Lupin Cultivar Comparison, G H. Walton

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

The 1972 experimental results provide a good comparison between Unicrop and Uniharvest lupin under low rainfall conditions. While most trial results have to be examined in the knowledge of low rainfall confounded with high weed competition, some useful and practical conclusions can be drawn. Trials - 72MO10, 72MT33, 72GE11, 72GE12, 72GE13, 72GE14, 72LG7, 72LG10, 72NO9, 72NO10, 72TS10. Other grain legume variety trials which were not harvestable for lupin varieties - 72AL10, 72ES9, 72LG8, 72LG9, 72NA10, 72NA11, 72TS11, 72WH9,


Soil And Plant Analysis For Mineral Deficiencies, M D. Carroll Jan 1972

Soil And Plant Analysis For Mineral Deficiencies, M D. Carroll

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Soil and plant analysis (testing) has its supporters and its critics. Some of the differences are resolved if the distinction is made between the concept and the practice. Most people would agree with the concept of soil and plant analysis but the practice, or service offered, in any agricultural situation can be subject to valid criticism.

This article defines some of the principles involved and illustrates some of the problems, to provide a better understanding of the usefulness and the limitations of soil and plant analysis as a diagnostic aid in plant and animal nutrition.


Limnology Of Four Bauxite Open-Pit Lakes, George L. Harp, Ronald D. Hubbard Jan 1972

Limnology Of Four Bauxite Open-Pit Lakes, George L. Harp, Ronald D. Hubbard

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The aquatic flora and fauna and 18 physicochemical characteristics of four bauxite open-pit lakes were studied from September 1969 to August 1970. The least acid lake (pH 3.4-4.4) supported 49 different aquatic insects, plankton, and higher aquatic plants. The most acid lake (pH 2.7-3.2) supported only 26 different plants and animals. Bauxite open-pit lakes within the pH range studied appear to be as relatively unproductive as their coal strip-mine lake counterparts, with which they share physicochemical and biological characteristics. Benthic macrofaunal diversity and abundance appear to be related more closely to distribution and abundance of leaf detritus than to hydrogen-ion …

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

The systematic investigations of the potential of the Ord area for irrigated farming began during the Second World War when the possibilities of damming the river were first examined, initial soil survey was carried out, and agricultural experiments started. The Kimberley Research Station was established on its present site in 1945. A year later the State and Commonwealth Governments agreed to finance and operate the Station jointly, with CSIRO and the Western Australian Department of Agriculture being responsible for research.

The construction of the main dam designed to store 5,675 million m" ( 4.6 million acre feet) was completed in …


Plant Cover For Bare And Salt Affected Land, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia Jan 1972

Plant Cover For Bare And Salt Affected Land, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

The contributions made by this State to land reclamation were recognised at an international level last year.

Mr. C. V. Malcolm, a research officer with the Soils Division, presented a paper entitled "Establishing Shrubs in Saline Environments" at a symposium on Useful Wildland Shrubs, Their Biology and Utilisation, at Utah State University, Logan, Utah.

The conclusion to Mr. Malcolm's review, set out below, summarises much of what is known about shrub establishment in saline areas.


A Report On The Condition Of The Gascoyne Catchment, D G. Wilcox, E A. Mckinnon Jan 1972

A Report On The Condition Of The Gascoyne Catchment, D G. Wilcox, E A. Mckinnon

Resource management technical reports

Severe flooding in Carnarvon followed heavy rains on the Gascoyne Catchment in February 1961. The flooding and erosion were extensive enough to suggest that run-off from the catchment was excessive. Lightfoot (1961)* reported that excess run-off was due to degradation of the catchment area. This report will describe the catchment area in terms of the degradation of its rangeland and its susceptibility to erosion.
