This project was designed to evaluate varieties currently grown to determine their limitations, and to
investigate factors affecting performance. Strategies developed in this project will lead to increased
productivity and reliability of lucerne seed production
This publication reports some of the findings, implications and proposals for modified management of
lucerne seed crops. It also indicates areas in which plant breeding and further research can be
expected to substantially increase production and profitability of lucerne seed production.
This study evaluated the level of resistance to commonly used herbicide groups in three key weeds affecting lucerne seed crops in commercial production areas of...
The lucerne seed industry is an important contributor to Australian agriculture, worth an estimated $95 million per year. The industry is made up of more...
Temperate pasture seed production is concentrated in locations within southeastern Australia and southwestern Western Australia. Lucerne dominates, accounting for about 75% of the area sown...
Building on from earlier AgriFutures Australia-funded research into lucerne seed wasp (LSW), several DNA tests have been developed to give a more precise measure of...
This report summarises the development of DNA tests for lucerne seed wasp (LSW), Bruchophagus roddi, and two associated parasitoid wasps, Idiomacromerus perplexus and Pteromalus sequester,...
Lucerne is an important pasture species in Australia and pest management is critical in seed crops to maximise yield. The Australian crop mirid (Sidnia kinbergi)...
Subterranean clover (sub clover; Trifolium subterraneum) has been sown across more than 29.3 M ha (Nichols et al. 2012), demonstrating its global importance to animal...
The Horwood Bagshaw Clover Harvester, also known as the HB, is the most common machine for harvesting subterranean clover and annual medic seeds in Australia....
