Key findings from crop legume field experiments conducted throughout Western Australia (WA) in 2017...
-
Blending Williams with Mitika was a better option than blending Williams with Bannister to increase grain quality. There was no grain yield or quality advantage by blending varieties pre-seeding, rather than post-harvest....

The impact of root diseases can be difficult to recognise and targeted testing of paddocks can identify situations of increasing or high risk. While pathogen levels detected by PREDICTA® B are an important indicator of potential disease risk, seasonal conditions, crop choice and management practices are also important factors in determining how muc...

Tolerance of new canola varieties to the herbicides common to all canola production systems, i.e. conventional (CC), Triazine Tolerant (TT), Roundup Ready® (RR), Triazine Tolerant and Roundup Ready® (RT) and Clearfield® (CL). Tolerance of RT canola varieties to glyphosate mixes with other herbicides to reduce selection pressure on glyphosate. Resid...

Seed coating with wetters provided a higher agronomic efficiency than banded furrow placed wetters....
-
Lime application on its own had no effect on crop emergence but high rates of gypsum slowed plant emergence by 2 days. Increasing the lime rate increased total root length by up to 14-fold through the production of secondary and fine root systems which may allow young seedlings to grow their roots into comparatively moist subsoil. Early seedling em...
-
The cause of this yield gap is variable. No one factor (nitrogen, disease, weeds or rainfall) is a cause of the yield gap, it is a combination of factors....
-
Analysis of six years of data (2012 to 2017) indicates that Statistical Seasonal Forecast had some success in indicating whether May to July rainfall were above or below median particularly in the north and central regions....
-
Under laboratory conditions germination of sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was favoured by a night/day temperature of 10/20°C. Under a favourable night/day temperature of 10/20°C and ongoing moisture conditions, sclerotia germinated and many produced multiple apothecia (small mushroom like structures) at a time. Sclerotia that were ground to...
-
Higher rates of nitrogen are usually more risky, not less. Precision in choosing nitrogen rates is usually not justified....
