Mixed chenopod shrub plain pastures are a group of the many pasture types in the southern pastoral rangelands of Western Australia. Note that cassias are in the genus Senna.

For bananas on the Ord River Irrigation Area, length of time to emergence and harvesting depend on air temperature, planting time and sucker management.

Tissue culture is the best method for propagating bananas. It ensures they are true to type and free from pests and diseases.

The Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) is suitable for growing bananas.

Higher banana plant densities are used in the Ord River Irrigation Area than other growing areas to modify canopy microclimates.

Bananas are grown in Western Australia in the Ord River irrigation Area (arid monsoonal tropics) and Carnarvon (semi-arid subtropics).

Bananas need a lot of water to grow well. To irrigate the crop efficiently you need to measure soil water content.

2019 has been a difficult season for many throughout Western Australia with variable rainfall impacting on production and profitability.

Managing subsurface water can help to lower watertables and alleviate problems with waterlogging, rising salinity, and infrastructure damage.

A benchmarking study was conducted in 2016 on fertiliser and irrigation practices of 10 tomato growers in Carnarvon.

Fire is integral to many ecosystems in the Western Australian rangelands.

In Australia, it is illegal to feed restricted animal material (RAM) to ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, deer, camels and alpacas). This is known as the 'ruminant feed ban'.

Bluebush pastures are a group of the many pasture types in the southern pastoral rangelands of Western Australia.

This page summarises the Introduction section of the Pasture condition guides for the southern rangelands, including the Gascoyne, Murchison and Goldfields-Nullarbor (the guides).

Western Australia has laws to control chemical use on trade animals. These laws protect people, animals and the environment from harm.

Rainwater run-off from a roof can provide clear, soft and low-salinity water.
