Influence of crop rotation and liming on greenhouse gas emissions from a semiarid soil
Semi-arid lands represent one fifth of the global land area but our understanding of greenhouse gas fluxes from these regions is poor. We investigated if inclusion of a grain legume and/or lime in a crop rotation altered ...
Salt Management: The Australian Experience
Salinity is the accumulation of soluble salts (predominantly NaCl) in soil and water, usually over an extended period of time. For most people the term has negative connotations, associated as it is with long-term land and ...
Evidence that dicot-infecting mastreviruses arep articularly prone to inter-species recombination and have likely been circulating in Australia for longer than in Africa and the Middle East
Viruses of the genus Mastrevirus (family Geminiviridae) are transmitted by leafhoppers and infect either mono- or dicotyledonous plants. Here we have determined the full length sequences of 49 dicot-infecting mastrevirus ...
Influence of urea fertiliser formulation, urease inhibitor and season on ammonia loss from ryegrass
This paper reports the results of experiments to determine whether ammonia (NH3) loss can be reduced and nitrogen (N) use efficiency improved by using two relatively new commercial urea formulations rather than granular ...
Everfarm ® − Climate adapted perennial-based farming systems for dryland agriculture in Southern Australia
Australian dryland agriculture will be affected by climate change in a number of ways. First,
higher temperatures and changes to rainfall are likely to create greater variability of crop
yields and livestock productivity. ...
