This report provides a description of a three year study involving glasshouse and field experiments designed to develop herbicide options for control of weeds in seed crops of two new temperate perennial pastures species, Trifolium tumens (Talish clover) and Dorycnium hirsutum (Hairy canary clover)
The report is targeted specifically at growers and potential growers of D. hirsutum and T. tumens seed crops. Agronomists and weed scientists will also benefit from having additional information on herbicide options for weed control in legume seed crop situations.
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....
