Composer-Performer Collaboration in the Development of Kinabuhi | Kamatayon For Percussion and Electronics

This paper provides an outline of the collaborative approach taken in the creation of electroacoustic percussion work Kinabuhi | Kamatayon (2015) by Stuart James for performance by Louise Devenish. Written for eleven Indonesian bossed gongs and electronics, the work involved creative and systematic exploration of various percussive and electronic techniques with the primary aim of re-contextualising these instruments. This paper offers an overview of the collaboration process with percussionist Louise Devenish and how these techniques were used in the work. This includes discussion of the performance practices developed and a suitable notation system for effectively executing these compositional ideas

Adoption of better agronomic practices for improving establishment of pasture legumes in the sub-tropics

Pasture legumes have been identified as the best long-term option to increase the productivity and returns from grass pastures in Queensland, however successful adoption rates remain low in the Brigalow Belt bioregion. Poor establishment is the most common reason for legumes failing. As part of a series of legume management workshops, 267 graziers and farm advisors were surveyed about their plans for sowing legumes and what agronomic practices they intended to use. Two-thirds of participants intended to change the practices they use to establish legumes through changing fallowing or seed-bed preparation, rhizobia application, sowing method or other practices. Despite the on-going drought the surveyed participants intend to establish 105,000 additional hectares of legumes using improved agronomic practices in the next 5 years. Adoption of better agronomic practices is likely to lead to more reliable legume establishment thereby increasing productivity for an important cattle production region of northern Australia

Plant nutrient analysis in established leucaena

Growth and forage quality of established leucaena can be constrained by low nutrient supply due to naturally low soil nutrient levels or induced deficiencies from previous land uses that removed nutrients (e.g. grain cropping). Monitoring nutrient levels in the soil or plant tissue is important for maintaining high productivity from established leucaena stands. Plant tissue testing measures the concentration of nutrients in a leucaena stand to determine if levels are sufficient for optimal growth. Sampling and testing plant tissue nutrients can sound complicated, but following a few simple steps can ensure reliable results
