Barley production - effect of weather damage on quality and varietal purity

5 December 2013

Weather damage in barley is a common problem worldwide including the south coast of Western Australia (WA) where it is associated with the late spring/early summer rains.

Comparison of tillage methods for lime incorporation, West Binnu 2016 trial report

17 October 2014

Using tillage to incorporate lime improves the rates of reaction and increases subsurface pH sooner than spreading lime on the surface alone.

Mark Seymour in Wittenoom Hills N rate Trial

Timing and rate of nitrogen for lower rainfall canola 2012-2014 trial report

14 January 2016

Yield response to applied nitrogen (N) in lower rainfall areas is often relatively low and may also reduce oil.

15 January 2016

In the trial series at Grass Patch, Ballidu, Merredin and Holt Rock, the highest grain yields, oil and gross margins were from the open pollinated variety, so growers should continue to use open po
