Lucerne establishment sequences to maximise weed control in ex-Pinus radiata L. plantations

Moot, Derrick J.; Mills, Annamaria; Marshall, Alan J.; Edwards, Grant (New Zealand Grassland Association, 2007)

Lucerne sown immediately or after different forage crop sequences was investigated as a pasture option for post forestry conversion. In this experiment superphosphate and lime were applied in March 2005 before final seedbed ...

Forage responses to lime and nitrogen fertiliser on land converted from pine forest to dryland pasture in Canterbury

Condron, Leo M.; Moot, Derrick J.; Marshall, A.; Edwards, Grant (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)

A field trial was established to quantify the impacts of lime (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 t/ha) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 kg N/ha/year) addition on the dry matter (DM) production of a crop sequence of ...

Yield and botanical composition of pastures sown under rape into an ex- Pinus radiata forest block.

Mills, Annamaria; Moot, Derrick J.; Marshall, Alan J.; Edwards, Grant (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)

After the removal of Pinus radiata forests, conditions for establishing pastures are often sub optimal. The ability of rape to aid pasture establishment and suppress weeds was investigated at Darfield, Canterbury ...

Pasture composition and production from different cropping sequences in dryland pasture converted from Pinus radiata forest

Edwards, Grant; Moot, Derrick J.; Marshall, Alan J. (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)

Dry matter production and pasture composition were measured over 22 months in eight cropping sequences on a dryland site converted from forest to pasture. Cropping sequences involved different combinations of: (i) autumn ...

Can salt increase oversowing success on south facing hill country?

Gillespie, B. J.; Lucas, Richard J.; Moot, Derrick J.; Edwards, Grant (Lincoln University, Agriculture Group., 2006-11)

Salt application is a tool for pasture management and improvement in the hill/high country that could be used together with other methods such as herbicides, seeding, sub-division, grazing management and fertiliser.

Can topdressing with salt increase oversowing success and pasture quality on steep, south facing slopes in hill country pastures?

Gillespie, Benjamin J.; Lucas, Richard J.; Moot, Derrick J.; Edwards, Grant (New Zealand Grassland Association, 2006)

Two experiments were conducted in sodium deficient (<0.03% Na in DM) pastures on steep, south facing slopes at Mt Grand, Hawea, Central Otago (600 m.a.s.l), to determine the effect of the application of coarse salt (NaCl) ...
