Soil water extraction patterns of lucerne grown on stony soils
(Springer-Verlag on behalf of the Royal Netherlands Society of Agricultural Science, 2017-05)
Background and aims: Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is often grown under water-limited production conditions due to its capacity to extract water from deep soil layers through an extensive taproot system. These soils often ...
Effects of lime and organic amendments derived from varied source materials on cadmium uptake by potato
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, Inc., 2017-07)
Repeated applications of Cd-rich phosphate fertilizers have resulted in elevated concentrations of this toxic element in some New Zealand soils. Exceedance of the food safety standard for Cd (0.1 mg kg⁻¹ fresh weight) has ...
Nitrification inhibition by common plants in New Zealand’s agricultural landscapes
(Lincoln University, 2013)
Nitrification, the production of nitrate by the bacterial oxidation of ammonium, is an important economic and environmental issue in New Zealand. Nitrification can lead to high levels of fertiliser nitrogen loss from soil ...
Sorption and desorption behaviour of zinc in soils
(Lincoln University, 1997)
Fourteen soils comprising A and B horizons, from Canterbury, New Zealand were examined for the sorption/desorption behaviour of added and native soil Zn. These soils were selected to represent a wide range of soil properties ...
The addition, decomposition and accumulation of organic matter in some native Nothofagus spp. forests and Pinus radiata plantations in the South Island of New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
The addition, decomposition and accumulation of organic matter in beech (Nothofagus spp.) forests and radiate pine (Pinus radiata) plantations were compared in a study conducted over a two-year period from November 1976 ...

(Lincoln University, 1994)
Panau Soils (from Panau Pa, Long Lookout Point) overall, exhibit variable physical soil properties, but are not completely dissimilar morphologically, to other related southern Yellow-Grey Earths (Pallic Soils). The ...
A bioassay to compare the disease suppressive capacity of pasture soils
(New Zealand Plant Protection Society (Inc.), 2015)
© 2015 New Zealand Plant Protection Society (Inc.). Dynamic pathogen complexes can develop under pastures, thereby substantially reducing potential productivity. Suppression of such pathogen complexes is therefore of great ...
