Light Lands In Western Australia. 1. History And Future Prospects, F L. Shier
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BECAUSE of the scattered distribution of light lands of the agricultural areas of Western Australia among the better soils, and their large total area, it is not surprising that attempts to develop these unattractive soils for agriculture started many years ago.
Molybdenum Deficiency On Lighter Soils, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Molybdenum Deficiency On Lighter Soils, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WIDESPREAD occurrences of molybdenum deficiency of subterranean clover have been observed on sandy and gfravelly surfaced soils in recent years, and present indications are that molybdenum will join copper and zinc as a major trace element deficiency of many of these soils.
The Gascoyne River Catchment Area, W M. Nunn
The Gascoyne River Catchment Area, W M. Nunn
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A RECENT Department of Agriculture survey of the Gascoyne River catchment area has indicated that deterioration of plant cover in the area contributes to the severity of floods which regularly damage the town of Carnarvon.
It is hoped that the results of the survey will help efforts to regenerate the catchment area, and reduce the risk of flooding.
Farming Without Fallow, H M. Fisher
Farming Without Fallow, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
UNDER the more intensive cropping rotations common in the early development of the cereal areas of Western Australia bare fallowing was a basic technique in cereal production.
By ploughing the land in July or August and keeping it bare of vegetation for nine or ten months, either by grazing or cultivation, a substantial beneficial effect on the subsequent crop could be expected.

Loss Of Structure In Wheatbelt Soils, T C. Stoneman
Loss Of Structure In Wheatbelt Soils, T C. Stoneman
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY of the heavy soils of the West Australian wheatbelt have been farmed for 30 or 40 years, and farmers now frequently complain that these soils are becoming more difficult to handle, that greater power is needed to break up the soil, and the time that it remains in a workable condition after rains is shorter.
Trace Elements For Cereal Crops And Pastures, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Trace Elements For Cereal Crops And Pastures, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TRACE element deficiencies are widespread in Western Australia and application of copper, zinc, molybdenum and cobalt have played a major part in land development in this State.
Research Officer E. N. Fitzpatrick, M.Sc. (Agric.) reviews recent Department of Agriculture research on the use of Trace elements for crop and pasture growth on deficient soils in Western Australia.
Stilling Coastal Sand Drifts With Marram Grass, J L. Mcmullan
Stilling Coastal Sand Drifts With Marram Grass, J L. Mcmullan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DRIFTS in dunes on the coast between Albany and Geraldton may be stabilised by planting marram grass (Ammophila arenaria).
However, it should be anticipated that much of the planted grass will die before an area is finally stabilised.

Light Lands In Western Australia. 2. Their Nature, Distribution And Climate, George Henry Burvill
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
LIGHT land development for agriculture is a major feature in the story of agriculture in Western Australia. Sixty years ago there was less than one million acres of arable land.
The total area planted to all crops was less than 250 thousand acres and the wheat harvest was less than one million bushels.
Bare Patch And Poor Emergence Of Cereals. 3. Crusting Of The Soil Surface, S C. Chambers
Bare Patch And Poor Emergence Of Cereals. 3. Crusting Of The Soil Surface, S C. Chambers
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In some seasons extensive bare patches occur in cereal crops sown on the heavier wheat belt soils.
Experimental results from Beverley indicate that the poor emergence in some of these plantings may be due to crusting of the soil surface.
Working the surface with light harrows may destroy the crust and improve emergence.

The Influence Of Soil Compaction Upon The Thermodynamics Of Soil Moisture, James E. Box Jr.
The Influence Of Soil Compaction Upon The Thermodynamics Of Soil Moisture, James E. Box Jr.
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The retention of water in soils is a very interesting subject. Soil-water research presents a great challenge to research workers. The challenge is broad in scope and extends from the field problems of large irrigation projects to the atomic scale of the solid-liquid interface.
If scientists are going to describe scientifically soil-water relations, they must ultimately utilize the instruments of science and the language of mathematics. To the end of the latter the mathematics of thermodynamics has been applied in these studies of water retention in soils.

Influence Of Compaction And Freezing On The Structure And Permeability Of Some Selected Horizons From Northern Utah Soils, Samir Ramzy Nagmoush
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Frequently, in evaluating plant deficiencies, one considers only those soil factors which are associated with the fertility of the soil-- mainly the levels of phosphorus, potash, nitrogen, and organic matter. A certain level of nutrition is essential for plant growth, but in order for the nutrients to exert their maximum influence on the productivity of the soil, it is equally important that a good soil environment be provided and maintained. A good environment requires that good physical conditions of soil, sir, and water be in balance.
The Influence Of Temperature On The Impedance To Water Flow Through Plants, Royal Duane Jensen
The Influence Of Temperature On The Impedance To Water Flow Through Plants, Royal Duane Jensen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This era has been termed the atomic or space age. The greatest concern of most people seems to be centered around survival from the destruction and suffering that might be caused by atomic and nuclear weapons. However, along with this, the world is confronted with perhaps a greater disaster--a potential calamity seldom realized by most people, yet a problem which grows more serious in the world each year--a tragedy which would probably be worse than destruction from nuclear weapons. This encroaching catastrophe is starvation.
Even today the majority of the people in the world do not have enough food. Each …
Moisture And Temperature Effects On The Transformations Of Nitrogen From Applied Ammonium Sulfate In A Calcareous Soil, John Keith Justice
Moisture And Temperature Effects On The Transformations Of Nitrogen From Applied Ammonium Sulfate In A Calcareous Soil, John Keith Justice
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Nitrogen has commonly been a deficient element in the cultivated soils of the world since the beginning of agriculture. The general acceptance of the practice of using manures as a means of increasing plant growth, as shown by the records of ancient civilizations, attest to this fact. Since the time of von Liebig there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of this deficiency in soils. As a result of a better understanding of the problem and the increasing availability of commercial forms of nitrogen, a rapid increase in the use of nitrogen fertilizers has taken place in the …

The Effect Of Temperature And Moisture On Nitrification Of Applied Ammoniacal Fertilizer In A Noncalcareous Soil, Merwin Allen Stevens
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The importance of nitrogen in world agriculture has been known for many years. But in the past few decades the enormity of the problem of nitrogen economy has been recognized. Along with the recognition of this problem there has developed a great increase in the use of nitrogen fertilizers. Coupled with the increased use of nitrogen there has come about an increasing awareness of the problem involved in the use of nitrogen fertilizers.
Effect Of Anions On The Sodium Adsorption Capacity And Electrophoretic Mobility Of Sodium Saturated Utah Bentonite, Theron G. Sommerfeldt
Effect Of Anions On The Sodium Adsorption Capacity And Electrophoretic Mobility Of Sodium Saturated Utah Bentonite, Theron G. Sommerfeldt
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Sodium saturated Utah bentonite was equilibrated in several concentrations of various sodium salt solutions. The effect of anions on the amount of sodium adsorbed was determined. The effect of anions on the electrophoretic mobility of the clay was also studied. The results are reported herein.
Anions, are generally considered, in the field of surface chemistry, to have no influence on the amount of cations adsorbed or the electrophoretic mobility of negatively charged colloids (5, 10, 28, 41). There is evidence (2, 7, 24, 26, 27, 33) to indicate that anions sometimes have an appreciable effect. If anions influence the amount …

Phosphorus Status Of Genola Soils In Utah, Warren E. Bendixen
Phosphorus Status Of Genola Soils In Utah, Warren E. Bendixen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
With increasing pressure on economical production of crops, more fertilizers are being applied to the soil each year to increase crop yields. Economical production of crops with applications of fertilizer requires an evaluation of the essential elements of the various crops so applications of fertilizer will not exceed the law of diminishing returns.
Because varying soil, moisture, and climatic conditions influence the response to added fertilizers, some workers (18, 26, 38) have contended that the only reliable way of determining the fertilization needs of a crop is to conduct a trial on the particular farm. The length of time involved …
The Mineral Content Of Various Sections Of Some Plants As Influenced By Conditions Associated With Lime-Induced Chlorosis, Hyrum Del Var Petersen
The Mineral Content Of Various Sections Of Some Plants As Influenced By Conditions Associated With Lime-Induced Chlorosis, Hyrum Del Var Petersen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The so-called "lime-induced" chlorosis has been recognized for many years as a problem where plants are grown on calcareous soils. The characteristics associated with lime-induced chlorosis are the same as those associated with iron deficiency chlorosis--interveinal yellowing of the leaves at the meristemic region combined with reduced vigor of the plant as a whole. Lime-induced chlorosis is unique in that the iron content of both chlorotic plant and the soil do not always show a deficiency in iron when chemically analyzed. This leads to the theory that iron is inactivated in both the soil and plant.
Although no single factor …

Good Pasture On A Problem Soil, R Sprivulis
Good Pasture On A Problem Soil, R Sprivulis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The acid peaty sands of the South-West have always been problem soils, and are often considered useless.
But, by following recommended establishment methods, farmers like Mr. F. E. Bellanger, of Nornalup, have shown that it can carry valuable pasture.
Orchard Drainage, R G. Cahill
Orchard Drainage, R G. Cahill
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
UNDERGROUND drainage of orchard land is an essential feature of fruitgrowing which is overlooked by many orchardists.
Soils should be adequately drained to cope with all winter rains.
Natural Paddocks Help Soil Conservation, G W. Spencer
Natural Paddocks Help Soil Conservation, G W. Spencer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ON most farms, particularly in the cereal and sheep districts, the paddocks as we know them are fenced off into neat squares or rectangles.
The original fencing was done in such a way that the paddock layout, as well as the fences, completely disregards the topography or natural features of the land. Often this has encouraged soil erosion.
In properly laid out paddocks there should be a very close relationship between the natural features of the farm, the fence plan, and soil conservation.
Copper Minerals For Fertilizer Use, R N. Glencross
Copper Minerals For Fertilizer Use, R N. Glencross
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
COPPER fertilizers have an important role in maintaining: and increasing Western Australia's agricultural production.
On many soils they are essential for cereal growing or pasture production and persistence and for animal health and wool quality.
They are also sometimes used for fruit trees, vines, and vegetables.
Potassium Deficiency In Medium Rainfall Areas, William John Toms
Potassium Deficiency In Medium Rainfall Areas, William John Toms
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IT is well known that potassic fertilisers must be used for the successful growth of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) on many soils in the higher rainfall districts of Western Australia.
Recent investigations have shown that some soils in medium rainfall districts are also too low in potassium to grow healthy subterranean clover pastures.
Establishing Saltland Pastures, C V. Malcolm
Establishing Saltland Pastures, C V. Malcolm
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WITH the approach of winter, thoughts are turning to the seeding season. It will therefore be appropriate to discuss methods of establishing saltland pastures.
This discussion will be restricted to "bluebush," creeping saltbush, and old man saltbush. Seed of these plants is available from local stock firms.
