Of eleven rootstocks tested with Packham's Triumph pear over twenty two years in an orchard trial at Bathurst, New South Wales, P. calleryana stocks were superior to those of P. pashia and P. communis. All five strains of P. caueryana produced more vigorous and better cropping frees than P. pashia which performed better than P. communis seedlings (from varieties Winter Bartlett, Beurre Bosc, Winter Cole), and the East Mulling selection B1. These latter stock were unsatisfactory. Of the five clonal strains of P. calleryana the D6 and PC4 strains produced the most vigorous and highest yielding trees. D6 performed equally well whether as clonal stock or as seedlings.

There are several ways in which Tranzschelia discolor may overwinter in prune orchards in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Areas of New South Wales. The aecial state, cross-infection from peach and almond, twig cankers, and urediniospores on living leaves persisting through winter were considered, but were thought to be unlikely. The ability of urediniospores to survive on infected leaf litter, either on the ground under trees or lodged within the framework of trees, was studied over two winters. Urediniospore viability declined with time, but in both seasons a proportion were capable of germination in the spring. Spores exposed within the tree framework survived better than those exposed on the ground, with about 20% and less than 5% respectively remaining viable by spring. In both winters spores from litter which overwintered within the framework of the tree were able to infect prune leaves in the spring. The infectivity of spores exposed on the ground was tested in the spring of one year and infections resulted on inoculated plants. The implications of these findings for the control of the rust in prunes are discussed.

Abstract We describe the High-Precision Polarimetric Instrument-2 (HIPPI-2) a highly versatile stellar polarimeter developed at the University of New South Wales. Two copies of HIPPI-2 have been built and used on the 60-cm telescope at Western Sydney University’s (WSU) Penrith Observatory, the 8.1-m Gemini North Telescope at Mauna Kea and extensively on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). The precision of polarimetry, measured from repeat observations of bright stars in the SDSS g′band, is better than 3.5 ppm (parts per million) on the 3.9-m AAT and better than 11 ppm on the 60-cm WSU telescope. The precision is better at redder wavelengths and poorer in the blue. On the Gemini North 8-m telescope, the performance is limited by a very large and strongly wavelength-dependent TP that reached 1000’s of ppm at blue wavelengths and is much larger than we have seen on any other telescope.

The effects of 5 foliar-applied fungicides on seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba) cv. Fiord were studied over 3 years at Tamworth in northern New South Wales. In 2 seasons when the diseases chocolate spot (Botrytis fabae) and rust (Uromyces viciae-fabae) were significant, 5 applications of foliar fungicides after flowering increased yield, by up to 1.6 t/ha in 1990 and nearly 0.9 t/ha in 1992, compared with the unsprayed treatment.Mancozeb, dichlofluanid, and tebuconazole were the most effective fungicides for preventing yield reduction, and vinclozolin and procymidone had little or no effect. Mancozeb and tebuconazole were effective in reducing the severity of both diseases, whereas procymidone was only active against chocolate spot. Differences between the most effective fungicides when applied 5 times or twice (at early and mid flowering) were seldom significant. Seed yields following 2 applications of tebuconazole were significantly higher than from 1 application, but for mancozeb, 2 applications were better than 1 in 1992 only. It was estimated that rust accounted for most of the yield loss in 1990 and 1992, and did so mainly by reducing seed size. Application of mancozeb early and during late flowering provided an effective and economical increase in grain yield in 1990 and 1992.

A survey at 85 MHz is presented of the sky south of declination 0 = _20�,and of the northern galactic spur region to 0 = +20�. The survey was made withthe 210 ft telescope at Parkes, New South Wales. At this frequency the observedbeamwidth was 3.5� by 3� 8� to half-power points. The radiation characteristics ofthe survey aerial and of scaled aerial models were studied to enable corrections to bemade for radiation received by the aerial from regions outside the main beam.Absolute beam temperatures derived from the observed aerial temperatures had anr.m.s. accuracy of better than 7%.

The low availability of zinc on a number of calcareous grey and brown soils of heavy texture with pH>8, in the Coleambally Irrigation and Balranald areas of New South Wales, resulted in marked deficient symptoms in, and responses to zinc by, Bacchus Marsh subterranean clover (Trifolium subterranean L.), grown on these soils. An interaction between zinc and manganese occurred but there was no yield advantage in applying manganese in place of, or together with, zinc. Healthy subterranean clover grew on the surface soil (0-4 in.) of Yooroobla clay, a gilgai puff, but plants on the subsoil, which is exposed when the soil is leveled for irrigation, were extremely, zinc deficient. The pH of the subsoil is generally about 0.5 units higher than that of the surface soil. Legume species and strains differed in their response to zinc. Ladino white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and Clare subterranean clover responded less to applied zinc than Bacchus Marsh subterranean clover, and barrel medic 173 (Medicago tribuloides Desr.) responded less than Ladino white clover. When no zinc was applied barrel medic 173 yielded better than Ladino white clover, and Ladino white clover and Clare subterranean clover better than Bacchus Marsh subterranean clover.

AbstractMontmorillonies separated from the bentonites SAz-1 (Cheto, AZ, USA), and Cressfield (New South Wales, Australia) were used as starting materials. Reduced charge montmorillonites (RCMs) were prepared from these chemically different and Li-saturated montmorillonites via heating at temperatures in the range of 120–300°C. The residual exchangeable Li+ cations were then replaced with tetramethylammonium (TMA+) or hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA+) cations and the ability of the modified montmorillonites to adsorb biphenyl was investigated. Lower adsorption was observed for Li-montmorillonites than for the organoclays. The extent of adsorption was dependent on both the layer charge of montmorillonite and the size of alkylammonium cations. HDTMA-forms prepared from unheated Li-montmorillonites adsorbed biphenyl better than the organoclays prepared from RCMs. In contrast, the TMA-samples prepared from the Li-montmorillonites that were not heated showed low uptake of biphenyl probably due to high content of TMA+ cations. Reduction of the layer charge, resulting in lower content of TMA+ cations, increased sorption efficiency of both TMA-montmorillonites. The best adsorbents of biphenyl were HDTMA-SAz-1 prepared from the unheated Li-SAz-1 and TMA-Cressfield prepared from the Li-form heated at 180°C. These samples removed about 80% of biphenyl from its aqueous solutions
