Lupin Trials, J Moore

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

Trials in lupins this year concentrated on testing herbicide for post emergence use in lupins. Of the 20 herbicides tested 12 did not cause significant decreases in crop density and/or yield. However, weed control was often poor and the herbicide phytotoxicity tended to vary between sites. (Chapman, Badgingarra and Avondale). The Chapman and Avondale trials were not harvested because of drought. Trials in 1978 should determine if any of the herbicides tested can safely be recommended. Lupins - summary. Post emergence lupin herbicides (Badgingarra Research Station) - 77BA36. Post emergence herbicides for lupins (Chapman Research Station) - 77C18. Post emergence …

Planting systems investigation. l. Planting depths. 2. Soil water (0-lOcm) near planting. 3. Mineralised N near planting. Planting systems investigation. Two trials were initiated on each of five Research Stations in collaboration with G.A. Pearce and J.E. Holmes. Details in respect of treatments, operations, fertilisers, rainfall, yields and weed populations are provided by these officers in their respective reports. For the purposes of this report, attention is drawn to two findings of a preliminary study of similar planting systems in 1976. TABLE 1. DepthS of planting (cm).

Cultivar Evaluation In High Rainfall Areas, D J. Gillespie

Experimental Summaries - Plant Research

1. Trikkala Evaluation Trial 76MT3. A joint trial with D.A. Nicholas. The trial's aim is to compare the competitive ability under grazing of Trikkala and Yarloop clover on a waterlogged new land site. The competitive ability to be measured in the presence and absence of clover scorch. (Kabatiella caulivora). 2. Pasture deterioration. Field experiments. Three trials established in 1975 to determine whether various cultivation techniques could control root rot and. subsequent pasture deterioration have now concluded. 3. Lucerne productivity and persistence. 4. Effects of saline irrigation water on pasture production. During the 1976/77 irrigation season the effects on pasture production …
