Scope exists for irrigated white clover seed producers to improve their irrigation practices and their $ return per ML applied. The research identified benefits of continual soil moisture monitoring for irrigation scheduling. Drop tube centre pivot irrigation has had a significantly positive impact on the lucerne seed industry, emanating from the RIRDC funded research, An Alternative to Border Check Irrigation (RIRDC publication no. 08/014). This research assisted in determining if similar benefits could be achieved in white clover 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)...
