Agricultural Progress On The Ord, D A. Mcghie
Agricultural Progress On The Ord, D A. Mcghie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
This is the first of occasional articles describing the experimental and commercial activity on the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) in Western Australia's Kimberley region.
Against a background of extensive recources of land and water, a sometimes cimatic advantage and a complementary disadvantage of a remote location, agriculture on the Ord has swung from various monocultures to a broadly based and diversified production. In 1986, the value of agricultural production on the Ord will approach values equivalent to those of the cotton era for the first time since the demise of that industry 12 years ago.

Grazing And Management Of Saltland Shrubs, C V. Malcolm, J. E. Pol
Grazing And Management Of Saltland Shrubs, C V. Malcolm, J. E. Pol
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
areas of bare saltland on farms need not be unproductive etesores. Many Western Australian farmers are now successfully growing salt-tolerant or halophytic shrubs such as bluebush (Maireana brevifolia), saltbushes (Atriplex spp.) and samphires (Halosarcia spp.) on these areas.
Department of agriculture trials and farmers' experience indicate that if saltland is planted with recommended shrubs, it can provide two months' valuable grazing for sheep during autumn and early winter, a time when paddock feed is scarce. Research by the Department has also identified a range of salt-tolerant shrubs suited to the various types of saltland.

Rock Phosphates : Fertilisers For Sandy Soils?, J S. Yeates, D. M. Deeley, G. T.B. Cockerton, M. F. Clarke
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Rock phosphates, from which water solubls phosphorus fertilisers such as superphosphate are manufactured, sometimes appear attractive to farmers because of their relatively low cost. But redearch has shown t6hat on most western australian soils they are not economical fertilisers. However, some deep sandy soils of the State's high rainfall area are exeptions. On these soils, rock phosphates compare favourably with superphosphate for plant growth. But how can these deep sands be identified.
This article describes research to define the soil characteristics necessary for rock phosphates and fertilisers containing rock phosphate, such as Coastal superphosphate, to be effective substitutes for superphosphate.

Serradella Prospects At Esperance, Michael D A Bolland
Serradella Prospects At Esperance, Michael D A Bolland
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Yellow serradells is a promising introduced annual legume suitable for some of Western Australia's well drained sandy acid soils where other pasture legumes failto persist.
In the Esperance area serradella grows siccessfully on some sandy soils more than 0.5 metres deep. I develops deep roots rapidly - up to three times deeper than subterranean clover - and this is probably the main reason for its persistance.
At present only two late maturing, registered serradella cultivars are available to farmers in southern Australia. This article describes research at Esperance to delect earlier flowering cultivars for persistence in areas with less than …

Draining Irrigation Areas, K S. Cole, J P. Middlemas
Draining Irrigation Areas, K S. Cole, J P. Middlemas
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Many irrigation schemes throughout the world have turned into unproductive saline flats and swamps. This dramatic change can occur within a few years of irrigation starting and has been part of irrigation schemes from earliest times up to the present day.
The main cause of this salinisation is normally excess irrigation water use combined with poor drainage. Any form of waterlogging will have an adverse effect on plant growth.

Sub-Surface Drainage Methods For Salinity Control, P R. George
Sub-Surface Drainage Methods For Salinity Control, P R. George
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Sub-surface drainage can control waterlogging and salinity of arable land by removing excess groundwater.
There are two broad types of sub-surface drainage: interception drainage and relief drainage.
The cost of drainage will depend on the specific design for the site. For relief drains the prime determinate of cost will be the required spacing. In general, clay soils of low permeability or seepage areas will need narrower spacings and will be harder and more expensive to reclaim than sands or areas only needing drainage of local water.
Drainage To Control Waterlogging, D J. Mcfarlane, T R. Negus, J W. Cox
Drainage To Control Waterlogging, D J. Mcfarlane, T R. Negus, J W. Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Drains can be classified in several ways. Drains on flat land have similar drainage effects on either side of the drain and are called relief drains. Drains on sloping land intercept seepage water moving down hillsides and therefore have most effect on the downslope side. They are called interceptor drains.
Drains can also be classified as being open drains (that is, open at the ground surface) or buried drains (for example, tube drains).
Saltland Drainage : Case Studies, P R. George, R A. Nulsen
Saltland Drainage : Case Studies, P R. George, R A. Nulsen
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Over the past five years farmers have become increasingly interested in the use of drainage to overcome saltland problems.
Experimental work by the Department of Agriculture on sub-surface drainage includes tube drainage and drainage by pumping. The Department is also monitoring the performance of open drains installed by farmers. Major sites are at Esperance, Dalwallinu, Namban and Watheroo.
Some of these projects have been reported in an earlier issue of the Journal of Agriculture. In this article P. R. George, Research Officer and R. A. Nulsen, Principal Research Officer with the Salinity and Hydrology Research Branch, discuss recent results from …
