The effect of soil pitting [for seeding] on establishment and growth of annual Medicago spp. on degraded rangeland in Western Australia [sowing methods].
1987
Gintzburger G.
'Pit' seeding, where seeds were dropped into pits 100 cm long, 25-30 cm wide and 8-12 cm deep, was compared with 'flat' conventional farm seeding. 'Pit' seeding was more effective during the critical establishment phase of annual Medicago species. Seeding establishment was increased by 9-60 percent; plant vigour by 20-130 percent; regrowth after late rain by 67 percent; pod number per seedling by 65-140 percent; pod weight per seedling by 108-255 percent; and the number of days to flowering was reduced by up to 8 percent.
