A survey of

farmers in

Shires of

^th~

l:ligh protein area around Merredin was undertaken in the few-weeks prior to the

1972

harvest. Grain samples were forwarded by farmers after supplying site data including yield estimate.. A soil sample was collected on which% soilN was determined. This information together with grain protein

perc~ntage

was included in multiple regression, and stepwise regression analyses. The table below summarises the step:wise treatment.

Cropping history was treated by rating i;>ites numerically as good where there was a first crop after go9d legume build'up through to the lowest rating for those which had more than one crop without legumes. This was the singularly most impo;t:'tant factor although it included consideration of legume history. In the multiple regression,legume history, cropping history and soil nitrogen were significantiycorrelated with each other as would be expected.

In addition to yield and grain protein, head densities, plant densities and 1000 grain weights were obtained. The accompanying graphs show that grain protein varies only slightly over the

normal seeding rate range.

Statistical data showed the two highest seeding rate to have significantly higher grain protein.

There was no seeding rate by variety interaction.

6 SEEDING RATE x GRAIN PROTEIN Location:

Soil Type:

History of Site:

Results:

Merredin Research Station.

Red clay loam.

Old.land good cyprus stand since '69.

Sown 30/6/72 with 90 lb/ac super.

Yields, grain protein and some yield components were recorded. The accompanying graphs show the results.

Once again there was only small variation in grain protein over the normal seeding rate range with the highest protein mean over the three cultivars at 45 lb/ac. The protein figurffi obtained were high but in keeping with the season. Again no seeding rate by variety interaction was recorded.

TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON FLOWER·SETT]NG OF LUPINS.

An experiment was carried out in the phytotron aimed at determining the effects of temperatures on lupip yields from flower bud formation onwards. Uniharvest lupins were grown

with laterals removed to give a. large inflorescence. The results ' obtained are shown below •

Mean Mean Seed N1 ^b Seed Mean Mean Seed wt Seed w per per k:>lower pod no.

25°c from 1st pod 1 cm. 5.07

..

It may be seen that 25°c was very damaging to yield particularly when applied throughout the flowering period. The low temperature treatment did not affect yield. It may be noticed that seed

production was greatly reduced by the 25°c treatment~ but flower production was not.
