The publication Lucerne Management Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in Australia offers insight into the importance and management of this perennial legume species in Australian growing conditions. The primary author, Lisa Castleman B.Agr.Sc, is an agronomist who values the extension of knowledge and applied learning among the agricultural community. This book aims to improve the understanding of the needs of the lucerne plant, whether in a stand of lucerne or in a mixed pasture. Landholders and farm advisors are offered the opportunity to better harness lucerne as a powerhouse of quality feed and increased soil Nitrogen. Lucerne is a pasture legume and a lucerne phase has enduring benefits for improved soil fertility, and better yielding cereal crops and grass pastures which follow. In the productive but highly variable region known as the Riverina, where the author resides and works, the capacity and resilience of a pasture legume such as lucerne has been evident for decades. In the quest for a greater understanding of the lucerne plant itself, the author took a number of road trips extending from Victoria, across NSW and into Queensland where lucerne-growers shared their stories and experience. The lucerne plant has an important role in dryland and irrigated farming systems across the diverse landscapes which make up Australia. Growing conditions are challenging on an island continent which is prone to bushfire, drought, floods, frost and pests. Lucerne however is suitable for a great many growing regions in Australia across temperate, Mediterranean and sub-tropical climates. Lucerne is highly adaptable and versatile, but also has vulnerabilities. Management of a lucerne stand is considered on a broadacre scale and this publication discusses suitable soil types, soil constraints and soil health, the management of challenges from pests, weeds and disease, pasture establishment and pasture management. Agronomic advice is offered alongside farming experiences by experienced lucerne-growers. Together this combination of knowledge and understanding tells a story about how to grow and manage lucerne successfully. This contemporary ebook on Lucerne management is written for a target audience including existing and prospective lucerne-growers, livestock producers of sheep and cattle, mixed farmers, wheat-growers and other winter-croppers, agronomists and farm advisors, landholders in general, students of agricultural science and natural resource management, weed officers, and owners of small and large acreages looking to establish a green buffer zone around homesteads and farm infrastructure to reduce the risk from bushfires.

Weed Management Handbook updates the 8th edition of Weed Control Handbook (1990). The change in the title and contents of the book from previous editions reflects both the current emphasis on producing crops in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner, and the new weed management challenges presenting themselves. This landmark publication contains cutting edge chapters, each written by acknowledged experts in their fields and carefully drawn together and edited by Professor Robert Naylor, known and respected world-wide for his knowledge of the area. The sequence of chapters included reflects a progression from the biology of weeds, through the underpinning science and technology relating to weed management techniques including herbicides and their application to crops, leading to principles of weed management techniques. Finally a set of relevant case studies describes the main management options available and addresses the challenges of reduced chemical options in many crops. Weed Management Handbook is a vital tool for all those involved in the crop protection / agrochemical industry, including business managers, horticultural and agricultural scientists, plant physiologists, botanists and those studying and teaching BASIS courses. As an important reference guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying horticultural and agricultural sciences, plant physiology, botany and crop protection, copies of the book should be available on the shelves of all research establishments and universities where these subjects are studied and taught.

One of the key barriers is the lack of current information on the costs and business performance of organic farms and related management issues that is vital to anyone contemplating the seismic shift to organic farming. The revised OFMH will provide that information – utilising in depth historical data and expert opinion. It is the essential tool for understanding the economics of organic farming in the UK. It can: Help with business plans and budgets Provide a means of assessing the viability of specific crops and livestock Advise on conversion related innovations such as new marketing approaches.
