Molydenum Seed Dressings On Wheat, M M. Riley

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

To compare the relative effectiveness of molybdenum as a seed-dressing to the conventional method of soil application. To examine the uniformity of distribution of different forms of molybdenum dressed onto the seed of wheat by different methods. 87M6

Trial 67c13, I Rowland, W Hawkins

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 67C13. Location paddock 19B on Chapman Research Station (Nabawa).
Long term rotation trials.

An old land site, cleared in 1903. Sown to Dwalganup sub clover in 1964, topdressed each year until the start of the trial in 1967. In 1981 to 83 all plots were reseeded with Northam at 20 kg/ha.

Effects Of Rates Of Nitrogen On The Copper And Zinc Concentration And Grain Yield Of Wheat Plants Grown On Old Land, R F. Brennan

Seed Rate And Nitrogen On Wheat, J W. Bowden

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87MO49

Location: Wannamal

To examine the economic choice of nitrogen and seeding rates in a leaching situation with a high yield potential.
To test the nitrogen section of NP-Decide.
To gather data that enables competition for resources to be examined by regarding the crop as a population of individual plants.

Population Dynamics Of Brome Grass In Relation To Control Systems, A H. Cheam, Stephen Lee, C. M. Ralph, P Nelson

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 86C1

Location: East Chapman Research Station.

To identify the level of control of brome grass under various crop rotation systems so that farmers can be advised on the degree of infestation likely to be encountered when using a particular system.
To design the best control system to reduce quickly the anticipated large seed population of brome grass in the soil.

Rates, Times And Sources Of Nitrogen On Wheat, J W. Bowden

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trial 87WH51

Location: Wongan Hills Research Station.

This trial was put onto a site adjacent to Mel Mason's source of nitrogen trial and the CSIRO, 15 N plots to provide some explanation of the results from the limited treatments in those trials. They were designed to monitor soil/fertiliser nitrogen transformations with time. Unfortunately the site of this trial was variable. The end most similar to the other trials was deeper and sandier and stored less water than the other and where crop growth was far better.
