Coping with brown spot and root rots of lupins

There is increasing concern that brown spot and root diseases may limit the long term viability of lupin cultivation in close rotations in the agricultural areas of Western Australia. Research has found several useful strategies to reduce the impact of brown spot and Pleiochaeta root rot so that losses can be kept to a minimum. Rhizoctonia has proved more difficult to combat. Although less widespread than Pleiochaeta, it has caused severe losses and appears to be increasing in incidence, particularly in the northern wheatbelt. Research has vastly expanded our knowledge of the strains of Rhizoctonia present in our soils and the diseases they cause. Because we can now identify the strains involved, we are better able to examine the impact of management techniques on disease severity and to start screening lupins for resistance to the various strains

Power and social justice in community development: Improving 'government towards development'

Whilst there exists a strong academic tradition regarding the importance of critique and reflexivity within community development theory, it is evident that the vast majority of the critical examination undertaken constitutes internal, methodological critiques of specific aspects of community development practice. This thesis sets about critically examining the theory of community development in its entirety, through an identification and comparison of the field’s core tenets and principles by way of a review of the prominent literature. Through this examination, two key issues will be identified. The first is that, partly due to conceptual unclarity, community development has the potential to place the responsibility for rectifying inequality unjustly. The second is that community development theory generally seems to reflect an inadequate understanding of the concept of power. Born out of this critique will be some further analysis, designed to propose some potential ways in which to address the issues identified. It is argued that community development should strive to model community involvement specifically within a framework of social justice, through the adoption of a rights-based approach, as well as attempt to incorporate a more complex, Foucouldian conception of power into its core theorising. It is further proposed that community development must overtly recognise that it, as a discipline, constitutes a form of government. Finally, the thesis advocates for a shift in community participation, away from a simple involvement in decision making, towards processes which act to challenge the dominant discourses and political rationalities which serve to perpetuate inequality

Survey of fungi associated with diseased lupin roots

1. Survey of fungi associated with diseased lupin-roots. Cylindrocarpon was only encountered on the south coast (Albany and Esperance districts). The isolates were identified as c. didymum and c. destructans. At certain sites in the two northern districts (Geraldton and Moora) a distinct type of disorder, characterised by reddish-brown coloured lesions which develop on the below ground portion of the hypocotyl, was observed. 2. Assessment of lupin root disease in lupin permanent disease nurseries – 78WH20, 78BA51, 78C34, 78MT38, 80E21. 3. Effect of fungicide drenches on lupin root rots – 83MT17, 83WH9. 4.

Coming to grips with Eradu-patch of lupins

Investigations by Bill MacLoud and Mark Sweetingham have confirmed that Eradu-patch of lupins is caused by apreviously undescribed fungal pathogen,\. They have developed strategies to minimise the spread of patches but choices are limited for control in lupin crop
