This RIRDC report summarises a three year research project conducted in the south east of South Australia investigating the impacts of irrigation on white clover seed production. In particular the research examined the impact of irrigation on soil structure and chemistry as well irrigation management on seed production.
The report offers white clover producers suggestions of aspects of their management that, if altered, may improve seed production and reduce their irrigation outputs. In addition the report suggests areas that require more research that may assist with the longer term sustainability of their irrigated white clover seed production industry.
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...
