Title: | Effects of shade on seed production of 'Nassella trichotoma' in northern New South Wales | Contributor(s): | Trotter, Tieneke (author); Sindel, Brian Mark (author) ; Murison, Robert David (author); Jessop, Robin Stephen (author) | Publication Date: | 2006 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11539 | Abstract: | Serrated tussock ('Nassella trichotoma' (Nees) Arechav.) is a perennial grass weed of pastures. It is a widespread problem on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales (NSW) that have a Mediterranean climate and is now invading the Northern Tablelands of NSW where rainfall is summer dominant. Isolated infestations are found under trees and in open areas. Due to the importance of wind-borne seeds to the invasive capability of serrated tussock and the suppression of seeding in effective management, it is necessary to understand when plants set seed and the factors that affect the level of seed production. In particular a reduction in the intensity or amount of light received by a plant can have implications on physiological responses such as changes in seed production. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of shade on the timing and amount of seed production. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | 15AWC: 15th Australian Weeds Conference, Adelaide, Australia, 24th - 28th September, 2006 | Source of Publication: | 15th Australian Weeds Conference Papers and Proceedings: Managing Weeds in a Changing Climate, p. 895-895 | Publisher: | Weed Management Society of South Australia | Place of Publication: | Torrens Park, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140201 Agricultural Economics | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 910299 Microeconomics not elsewhere classified | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.caws.org.au/awc/2006/awc200618951.pdf |
