Pasture Research Programme For The Medium Rainfall Zone Of Wa, P. Dixon
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Pasture Research Programme for the Medium Rainfall Zone of W.A. - Species Selection and Management Related in Particular to the Ryegrass Toxicity Problem Since the early 1970's much of the ryegrass based pastures in the Pallinup region have been affected by Annual Ryegrass Toxicity (ARGT). Control of ryegrass by herbicides invariably leads to a reduction in the stock carrying capacity of the pasture since currently available legume species fail to grow or persist. This tendency is particularly evident on the hard setting loam soils of neutral to alkaline reaction. The aim of this project is to find alternative pasture species …

Residue Trials, Herbicide Incorporation And Leaching Of Chlorsulfuron, T Piper
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Residue Trials: Breakdown rates have been established for trifluralin at Wongan Hills and Avondale over the past two seasons. The decay curve follows a hyperbolic curve rather than the expected exponential curve with constant half life, probably due to the considerable loss of chemical by volatalization in the first few days, before biological decomposition takes over as the main breakdown factor.

Pastoral Land Degradation: The Fitzroy As A Case Study, Alan L. Payne, Ronald B. Hacker
Pastoral Land Degradation: The Fitzroy As A Case Study, Alan L. Payne, Ronald B. Hacker
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
When large numbers of domestic livestock are superimposed on native vegetation in semi-arid and arid areas of the world, the ecological balance inevitably changes. In extreme cases these changes include such degradation as drastic losses of vegetation and active soil erosion. Areas affected in this way are unproductive for most purposes.
Western Australia's Fitzroy River valley has deteriorated in this way. Today, this once-productive grazing country is so degraded that it has become a matter of concern to Governments, the pastoral industry and others.
This article gives a brief history of land degradation in parts of the Fitzroy River valley, …

Annual Medics For The Kalgoorlie Region And Adjacent Eastern Rangeland Zones, G Gintzburger
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Species selection and establishment methods Extensive overgrazing and burning of the dominant winter rainfall Goldfields pastoral zones have left large areas degraded with a poor annual vegetation cover of nearly no grazing value. Thus, more grazing pressure is exerted on shrubs and small trees accelerating the desertification process. Shrubs and trees are the main stabilising agent left in a rangeland plant community when alI annuals have been grazed out. In order to upgrade or regenerate some of these areas, conventional methods of grazing prohibition or deferred grazing can be used but often, improvement obtained are slow. It is hypothesized that …
Hydrological Studies In Soil Salinity, C J. Henschke
Hydrological Studies In Soil Salinity, C J. Henschke
Resource management technical reports
Investigations involved examination of near-surface indurated layers to investigate their role in saltland formation. It was found that groundwater could move readily through this layer due to the presence of macro-pores. Close examination of apparently impermeable pallid zone clays, shows that decayed tree roots and large diameter voids provide a continuous pathway for the veritical transport of saline water from deeper aquifers.

This report compares two alternative approaches for the treatment and management of salt affected land at Dangin, Western Australia by determining whether there are benefits from a WISALTS bank system which would not accrue from standard soil conservation recommendations; comparing the costs and benefits of the two systems; and determining the nature of the effects of the two systems, particularly with respect to soil salinity.

Agricultural Water Quality Criteria : Irrigation Aspects., P R. George
Agricultural Water Quality Criteria : Irrigation Aspects., P R. George
Resource management technical reports
Water quality criteria for irrigation are imprecise. The final result of quality evaluation depends on plant, soil and climatic variables all of which can be inter-dependent. A range of management strategies of varying complexity are available to mitigate the effects of poor quality water. The heavy winter rainfall in the south-west of Western Australia affects the applicability of published salinity criteria most of which have been developed in arid and semi-arid environments with little effective rainfall.

Curbur Station : Inventory Of The Range And Its Management, Alexander Mcrae Holm
Resource management technical reports
Ten land systems were identified, descriped and mapped. potential feed status was assessed for each land system. The land systems were then ranked accordingly and stocking rates allocated. Wongdong saline shrublands was considered to be the most productive system and Narryer hills, outcrops and breakaways the least productive. An assessment was made of the range condition and erosion status of the least. These assessments indicated that most of the pastures had been heavily utilized in the past.

Progress Report On Effects Of Contour Banking On Surface Runoff At The Berkshire Valley Experimental Catchment (Near Moora) 1961-82, K J. Bligh
Resource management technical reports
The time lag prior to peak runoff following rains of comparable high intensity increased by approximately 80 per cent in the largest event after the construction of contour banks. Although 80 per cent more runoff also occurred because the catchment was wetter and had been cultivated for three years in a row, the peak rate of runoff increased by only approximately 20 per cent. That the peak rate was not increased by 80 per cent, may be primarily attirbuted to the effect of the contour banks.

Preliminary Groundwater Investigations In Relation To Soil Salinity At Fitzgerald, Western Australia, C J. Henschke
Preliminary Groundwater Investigations In Relation To Soil Salinity At Fitzgerald, Western Australia, C J. Henschke
Resource management technical reports
This study investigated soil salinity problems in relation to new land releases at Fitzgerald near the south coast of Western Australia. Fairly widely spaced set of bores was established to compare the groundwater hydrology regimes beneath cleared and virgin land. A large storage of soluble salts (over 100 kgm-2 in some profiles) was measured in the pallid zone clays under both cleared and virgin land conditions. Seasonal fresh to brackish perched watertables were found to overlie highly saline deep waterbles at a number of valley sites on land which has been cleared for agriculture during the past 15 years. Salinity …

Flooding, waterlogging and salinity problems in Western Australia are complex. Usually broad areas of land are affected, thus it is hard for one farmer alone to combat the effects because the problem so often starts and finishes off his farm.
