Harvesting subterranean clover seed – current practices, technology and issues

چکیده
Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) is Australia’s most widely sown annual pasture legume. Its widespread use as a plant requires well-functioning seed production industry, and Australia the only significant producer of subterranean globally. However, sustainability this industry under threat due to its reliance on ageing harvest equipment resultant environmental impacts. In order evaluate harvesting practices, technology, issues, we report case studies, workshops, survey producers across southern Australia. The Horwood Bagshaw Clover Harvester, designed in 1950s, remains popular harvester. We discuss modifications, document several contemporary issues facing industry. Issues are primarily soil erosion degradation; expensive, slow labour-intensive process; poor reliability maintainability harvesters that now at least 30 years old. conclude root cause these suction technology utilised by Harvester. Analysis current system provided support development new approaches seeds.

Before topping is done, he should go over the tobacco field carefully to pick out desirable seed plants. When he has decided on the ideal type of plant, he should select the plants that conform to this type for producing seed. ...
متن کاملOestrogenic Activity of Subterranean Clover 2. THE ISOLATION OF GENISTEIN FROM SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER AND METHODS OF QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATION By D. H. CURNOW*
The isolation of small amounts of genistein (5:7:4'trihydroxy-isoflavone) from subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum var. Dwalganup) and the demonstration of its weakly oestrogenic properties (Bradbury & White, 1951, and Biggers & Curnow, 1954), together with the difficulties in the synthesis of this compound, made it important that a more efficient method be found for the isolation of th...
