Kabatiella Caulivor, Root Rot Resistance, Bluegreen Aphid, Asessment Of Medicago Murex, Clover Establishment Techniques, D J. Gillespie

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Kabatiella caulivora (clover scorch). In contrast to previous years where all overseas introductions and most crossbreds were tested for resistance to Kabatiella, only selected clovers are now being screened so as to reduce the number requiring testing to a manageable size. Root rot resistance screening. One hundred and seven clovers selected as low in formononetin, tolerant of clover scorch, mid to late season maturity, and reasonable winter vigour were tested at two sites for root rot resistance. Bluegreen aphid (BGA) resistance screening. Sub clover screening for bluegreen aphid resistance ranked from tolerant to susceptible (ratings at 49 days from commencement). …

Wind Erosion In The Jerramungup Area 1980-1981, Bryan J. Goddard, M G. Humphry, D J. Carter

Resource management technical reports

An investigation of the wind erosion problem at Jerramungup was conducted by on-farm survey and Landsat interpretation from September to November 1981. Sandblasting and wind erosion were estimated to have seriousloy affected some 44,000 ha in 1980 and over 64,000 ha in 1981. The 1981 damage estimate is conservative, because a much greater area of pasture land was affected by erosion in May-July but achieved vegetative cover by later winter.

Legume Seed Inoculation, D. L. Chatel

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Medic inoculation experiments – 81ME6, 81GE5. Inoculation trials were conducted at Holleton (81ME6) and Canna (81GE5).The major objectives were: 1. To test the field effectiveness of new strains of Rhizobium meliloti and to compare them with standard strains. 2. To initiate trials aimed at examining the performance of R. meliloti as long term colonisers of mildly acid soils. These trials are the first in a programme aimed at looking at the feasibility of developing acid tolerant strains for large areas of acid soil which are not suitable for growing subterranean clover. The 1981 trials will provide a basis for comparison …

Bulletin 3929 - Irrigation In Western Australia, K S. Cole

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

Irrigation is essential in many parts of the world to produce essential food and profitable cash crops. Generally, those areas of land with less than 360 mm of rain spread over a distinct wet season of several months cannot grow crops for food or cash on rainfall alone. Then irrigation becomes necessary unless some peculiarity such as an oasis exists.

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Effect of stubble and seed infection on S. nodorum at Badgingarra. Fungicide timing on Septoria control.

Double cropping wheat was simulated by spreading stubble fragments collected from an adjoining paddock at 30 g/m2. Infected seed was from a 1979 sowing at Badgingarra, clean seed was pedigree Gamenya ex Merredin. Treatments were thus:- 1. Clean seed, no stubble. 2. Clean seed plus stubble. 3. Infected seed, no stubble. 4. Infected seed plus stubble. Plots were 10 x 25 m separated by equal sized barley buffers.
