Effect of sowing date, nitrogen application rates and timing on grain yield and quality of six wheat varieties - Merriwagga 2015Varieties can differ in their ability to yield at various sowing dates. The same goes for their response to various rates of nitrogen and how they turn that nitrogen into yield and protein. This trial was designed to measure the influence of sowing date and nitrogen rate across six common wheat varieties. |

Nitrogen management of hybrid and open-pollinated canola in the WA low rainfall malleeTo investigate the nitrogen rate and time of application response of canola varieties to yield and oil content of TT and RR hybrids in comparison with open-pollinated types to: 1. Provide growers in lower rainfall environments with guidelines on optimal nitrogen rates and times of application to maximise grain and oil yields. 2. Determine if the management of hybrid canola nutrition is different to that of open pollinated varieties due to different responses to N rates and timing. |

Timing of nitrogen in low rainfall canolaAim; To investigate the response to changing the nitrogen rate and changing the time of application. Canola yield and oil will be measured and RR hybrids will be compared with open-pollinated TT types (OP TT). Previous trial results suggest that as long as nitrogen is applied within 8 weeks of sowing, there is no yield penalty. How canola responds to nitrogen applied later than 8 weeks has not been widely researched. Similarly how new generation canola such as RoundupReady (RR) hybrids respond to nitrogen has not been widely tested, particularly in low and medium rainfall areas. This trial is one of a series of 13 timing of nitrogen experiments DAFWA conducted in 2013. |

Pre-emergent herbicides and high density crop for annual ryegrass grass controlAnnual ryegrass at high density reduces crop yield. However, this weed is highly sensitive to crop competition. Initial control with pre-emergent herbicides combined with high seeding rates in cereal crops may be sufficient to control this species. The trial aims to investigate pre-emergent herbicides and high density crop seeding in a wheat crop. |

Onion weed control in medic pastures - a herbicide evaluationOnion weed (Asphodelus fistulosusis) is a significant pest of crops and pastures on many soil types on upper EP. Onion weed that germinates in the pasture phase often results in thick stands of large plants that require repeated herbicide application and/or cultivation to control prior to a crop phase. Cultivation prior to sowing is a widespread practice to control the weed and reduce the residues to manageable levels. However, cultivation can expose the soil to erosion. Onion weed in pastures regularly sets seed prior to the end of the growing season, ensuring the seed bank is replenished and the weed persists in every phase of the rotation. A key strategy to reduce the impact of onion weed, and the need for cultivation, is to reduce growth and seed set in the pasture phase of the rotation. Non-selective herbicides can control actively growing onion weed plants, but pasture growth is also affected. Previous trials by the UNFS group, MDB NRM, and PIRSA have shown the following herbicides can provide adequate control of onion weed in non-selective situations: Paraquat and double knocks of paraquat Glyphosate plus metsulfuron methyl mixtures (+/- paraquat second knock) Glyphosate plus LVE ester 2,4- D plus metsulfuron methyl,( +/- paraquat second knock) Chlorsulfuron Spray Seed Alliance
This trial was established to investigate herbicide control of autumn/winter germinating onion weed in the pasture phase, while maintaining the productivity of the medic pasture. This trial evaluated the herbicide control of young actively growing onion weed in a vigorous medic pasture. The herbicides, with the exception of paraquat, were chosen to minimise the impact on the medic biomass production. |
