Lupins are a critical component of a uniquely Western Australian farming system, the wheat:lupin rotation.
The life cycle of lupin from germination through to seed ripeness can be divided into six clearly definable stages.
Brome grass (Bromus diandrus and B. rigidus) is one of the most competitive grass weeds in wheat.
Soil compaction is rearrangement of soil particles and reduction in macro-porosity and total pore space by stresses.
Stubble management on raised beds should specifically be focussed on reducing the build-up of stubble in the furrows.
The costs of installing a system of raised beds should be recovered through a cropping program.
Summer crops can be grown for various reasons including replacing a ‘missed’ cereal crop, control herbicide resistant weeds, filling a summer feed gap for livestock or for watertable control.
