A leaf-roll disease of broad bean, similar to that induced by bean leaf roll virus (BLRV) in Europe, is common in Tasmania. Subterranean clover red leaf virus (SCRLV) was transmitted to subterranean clover test seedlings by using its most efficient vector, Aulacorthum solani (Kalt.), from 84% of 204 randomly selected affected broad bean plants. The disease was reproduced in broad bean with SCRLV in controlled aphid transmission tests. Effects of infection on yield were severe, as further pod set was markedly reduced after symptoms of infection developed. There was some variation among cultivars in their response to infection. The virus occurred as commonly in green pea crops as in broad bean. In pea it caused a top yellowing, but most commercially grown pea cultivars had some tolerance. Subterranean clover stunt virus (SCSV) caused symptoms in broad bean and pea which were also similar to those induced by SCRLV. However, SCSV was rarely found infecting plants in Tasmanian pea and bean crops. BLRV, SCRLV and SCSV share many properties in common and with some other viruses.

AMV was shown to be transmitted by sap, aphids and through lucerne seed, but not by Cuscuta. Virus source and test plant influenced transmission frequency. Sap-inoculation tests showed that 20 species of plants were susceptible to this virus. Thirteen species of plants from the fields where AMV had been detected were tested but only three were found to be infected with the virus.

A Tasmanian isolate of subterranean clover red leaf virus (SCRLV) was purified and concentrated from pea (Pisum sativunz L. cv. Puget) by tissue extraction with cellulase followed by heat clarification, precipitation with polyethylene glycol in salt, and differential and density gradient centrifugation. Virus particles were isometric and 27 nm in diameter. Aulacorthum solani (Kalt.) acquired virus particles from the preparations through Parafilm membranes and transmitted them to healthy subterreanean clover test seedlings, causing disease symptoms of SCRLV. Isolates of SCRLV from Tasmania appeared identical with those from New Zealand on the basis of particle morphology and serological tests. Tasmanian SCRLV was distantly related serologically to Californian isolates of beet western yellows (BWYV) and legume yellows (LYV) viruses. Tests indicated that the relationship was closest with a potato isolate of BWYV and most distant with LYV. Virus particles in sap extracts from infected pea plants were readily detected by electron microscopy following adsorption onto grids coated with SCRLV antiserum, but not on grids coated with antisera to BWYV and LYV. These data confirm that SCRLV is a new, distinct member of the luteovirus group.

In this study, the Dual-Kc approach within FAO-56 paper was applied by water evaluation and planning (WEAP) to get the Kc parameters (Kcb and Ke) and to calculate the water requirement for various soil textures. The results compared with the outputs of Single-Kc approach for summer and winter crops in addition to trees. The results showed when applying Dual-Kc approach, the water requirements was more compared with the Single-Kc approach, except the tomato, eggplant, and Broad bean crop, which decreased by 5%, 4%, and 17% respectively. Also, there was a different in values of coefficient when compare two approaches, it was increased in Dual-Kc approach for wheat by 62% with 20% during initial and end-stage while ranged between 26-58% for trees during all season with more different for other winter and summer crops. The water requirement of crops was different according to soil texture. The net water requirement of wheat was 429 mm and 433 mm for sandy loam and clay loam respectively, with different in irrigation intervals 11 and 12 respectively, while the silt loam was recording water requirement 417 mm with 8 irrigation intervals.
