1979 Field crops experiments

Field crops experiments resistance of lupins to Phomopsis leptostromiformis. (P.McR. Wood, Plant Research Division, J. Hamblin, Plant Production Division). Stage 1-2 Plant Breeders\u27 Plots. Phomopsis infection of 96 entries (replicated) was assessed just prior to harvest at seven sites - Chapman Valley Research Station (CVRS), Badgingarra Research Station (BRS), Wongan Hills Research Station (WHRS), Avondale Research Station (ARS), Mount Barker Research Station (MBRS), Esperance Downs Research Station (EDRS) and on a farmer\u27s property at Eradu. At four sites, CVRS, Eradu, MBRS and EDRS, only very low levels of infection were apparent. At the other three sites, the currently available varieties rarely had lower infection figures than average, and commonly had higher Phomopsis levels (see table 1).

Plain wire fencing for pastoral lands

The need to fence for efficient livestock control was recognised early in the history of the pastoral industry in Western Australia. Fence design, materials and layout have all undergone many changes since the 1880s. Modern fences have 4 or 5 strands of high tensile light gauge wires with post spacings up to 50m, and strains up to 4000m. These modern fences contain less material and are faster to erect than traditional fences, yet they provide an equally good, if not superior, barrier. The happy coincidence of strength and cost effectiveness will be apparent through this manual

Diseases of lupins and lupinosis.

Summary of experimental results, 1981. Geraldton: Brown spot (Pleiochaeta setosa) was widespread. Root rots were not considered generally to be a problem in 1981.Three Springs: Fungal root rots were commonly observed. Brown spot leaf and stem infection was also prevalent. Moora: Brown spot was the most prevalent. Northam: Crops were generally healthy. Albany: Crops were generally healthy Sclerotinia being present. Bridgetown: Brown spot was the main disease present. Root rots were also present. In December, a widespread disorder occurred, Late brown spot infection is suspected. An important point emerging from the programme is that often the lines showing Phomopsis resistance often give the best yields
