Oxalate content of miner’s lettuce irrigated with water or fertilizer solutions
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2016-11-24)
The total, soluble and insoluble oxalate contents of the small, large and cauline leaves and small and large stems of miner’s lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata ) plants which had been irrigated with tap water or a soluble ...
Active light sensing of canopies in crop management: Pastures and arable crops
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2015-02)
A field spectrometer with an active light source was tested as a potential canopy sensor for dairy pastures (‘TEC-5’, YARA). To study the applicability of the sensor on pasture for the intensive radiation conditions of NZ ...
The effects of cutting time and post-cutting rainfall on perennial ryegrass seed endophyte survival and seed quality: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours
(Lincoln University, 2010)
Novel endophyte technologies are now a widely accepted part of modern pastoral agriculture within New Zealand, owing to their production of alkaloids which have been shown to significantly reduce the effects of pasture ...
Yield response to pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotype, population and sowing date
(Bentham Open, 2012)
This research objective was to examine the effect of herbicide, genotype, population and sowing date on crop yield and weed growth in Pisum sativum. In 2007/08, cyanazine treated peas had a mean seed yield of 508 g m⁻² , ...
European experience with variable rate fertilizer application (VRA)
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2013-02)
Modern fertilization strategies handle the amount of applied fertilizer according to the demands of crops and paddocks. Besides agronomic and economic reasons increasingly also environmental sensitivities (soils, water-bodies, ...
Dry matter production and water use of dryland cocksfoot/lupin and lucerne pastures in the third year after establishment
(Lincoln University, 2017-11-14)
Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) is a preferred grass option for dryland pastures on high country farms in the South Island of New Zealand. However, increasing the productivity of cocksfoot based pastures with legumes is ...
Autumn yield of caucasian and white clover pastures under irrigated and drought conditions : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 1998)
The autumn performance of Caucasian clover, white clover and five grass species: perennial ryegrass, cocksfoot, phalaris, tall fescue and grazing brome were examined at Lincoln University during autumn 1998, after a summer ...
Growth of the grass plant in relation to seed production
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 1980)
The specialized management techniques required for successful seed production in grasses must be based on a sound understanding of the physiology of the plant. Seed yields depend strongly on the number of ears per unit ...
Early generation selection in 2 wheat crosses 1. F₂ single plant selection
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1985)
In an analysis of 2 wheat crosses, it was shown that yield components had higher heritabilities than grain yield per plant. Single F₂ plant selection for grain number per spikelet and per ear increased the yield per plant ...
Productivity and composition of perennial lupin pastures in response to six growing rates, lime application and lupin type at Glenmore Station, Lake Tekapo
(NZGA, 2016)
This study aims to identify the sowing rate necessary to produce lupin dominant and productive pastures in the New Zealand high country under low-moderate fertility, and a regime of late spring/early summer grazing. Blue ...
