Four molybdenum compounds were mixed with lime and applied as coatings to inoculated seed of lucerne (Hunter River) and subterranean clover (Mount Barker). The seed was sown immediately in molybdenum-deficient soil in the field or stored for periods up to 84 days before sowing. As storage time lengthened, the survival of both lucerne and clover rhizobia was adversely affected by sodium molybdate but not by molybdic acid, ammonium molybdate or molybdenum disulphide. This effect was reflected in poorer nodulation in the sodium molybdate treatments. Nitrogen fixation, using foliage nitrogen content as an index, was always higher in the molybdenum treatments than in the no-molybdenum controls. Both species appeared able to extract molybdenum from molybdenum disulphide. Otherwise, there were no treatment differences in plant growth, but there was a significant relationship between the proportion of seedlings nodulated by the inoculant strains and the amount of nitrogen fixation. It is concluded that seed-applied molybdenum would benefit pasture establishment in some circumstances and would not interfere with inoculant survival or seedling nodulation provided that sodium molybdate was not used for the purpose.

Solid formulations of indigenous rhizobacteria Bacillus thuringiensis TS2 and storage time to control bacterial pustule disease Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines. Bacterial pustule disease caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Glycines is a major constraint in soybean cultivation. Indigenous rhizobacteria Bacillus thuringiensis TS2 from soybean rhizosphere acquired from previous research is the best isolate which can control soybean bacterial pustule disease and increase growth rate of soybean. To increased its stability and interaction with soybean plants, Bacillus thuringiensis TS2 was urged to test furthermore especially its formulation with based formula tapioca powder, peat and bulk. The most effective storage time also need to test. Result showed that all rhizobacterial formula had ability to decrease incidence of bacterial pustule disease compared to control. Moreover, all the three formula could increase plant growth, total of leaves, total of branch and yields. Flowering time was also advanced by 1-8 days compared to control. Decreasing of disease rate and increasing of plant growth rate variated between different formulations.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of loading frequency on treatment performance of faecal sludge (FS) with drying beds planted with Echinochloa pyramidalis. Beds were loaded at a constant total solids (TS) loading rate of 200 kg TS/m2*year, at a frequency of 1X, 2X or 3X per week. The FS was highly variable, with a range of 2,600–21,492 mg/L TS, which resulted in variable hydraulic loadings. Weekly monitoring was conducted 23 times over a period of nine months. Increased loading frequency resulted in increased plant growth with 211, 265 and 268 plants/m2, respectively, for the 1X, 2X and 3X, and the 2X and 3X loadings had 12–13% more liquid lost due to evapotranspiration versus percolation. Even with high removals that were resistant to variable hydraulic loadings, leachate had 883–5,228 mg/L TS, 49–727 mg/L total suspended solids and 92–1,853 mg/L chemical oxygen demand due to the high initial concentrations. Increased loading frequency resulted in greater nitrification, with 7–28, 18–43 and 28–51 mg/L NO3− for 1X, 2X and 3X, respectively. FS requires a longer storage time than three months for stabilization and pathogen reduction. These results provide valuable information for FS planted drying bed operation.
