Annual dry matter, metabolisable energy and nitrogen yields of six dryland pastures six and seven years after establishment
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2010)
Dry matter (DM) yields, botanical composition, liveweight production and pasture quality of six
grazed dryland pastures established in 2002 at Lincoln
University, Canterbury, are reported for Years 6
(2007/08) and 7 ...
Nitrogen yields from sown pasture components in cocksfoot based pastures in a temperate environment
(Agropolis International Publications, Montpellier., 2010-09)
Cocksfoot (orchardgrass; Dactylis glomerata L.) is a persistent pasture grass in temperate dryland pastoral farming systems. Yield is strongly reliant on nitrogen (N) availability either from inorganic fertilisers of ...
Optimal grazing management to achieve high yields and utilisation of dryland lucerne
(NZ Grassland Association, 2016)
The pre- and post-grazing dry matter yields from six individual paddocks in a grazed lucerne rotation were compared at Ashley Dene, Lincoln University, over 5 years. The mean annual yield was ~12 000 kg DM/ha and unaffected ...
Lucerne establishment sequences to maximise weed control in ex-Pinus radiata L. plantations
(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 ...
Nitrogen fixation by subterranean and white clovers in dryland cocksfoot pastures
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2010)
The amount of nitrogen (N) in clover dry matter (DM)
herbage derived from N fixation in subterranean or
white clover was estimated using the ¹⁵N enrichment
technique in a dryland grazing experiment at Lincoln
University. ...
Yield and botanical composition of pastures sown under rape into an ex- Pinus radiata forest block.
(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 ...
Dryland pasture yields and botanical composition over 5 years under sheep grazing in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
Annual dry matter (DM) production and botanical
composition of six dryland pasture combinations, grown
under sheep grazing at Lincoln University for 5 years,
are presented. In 4 years, lucerne produced the highest
DM yields ...
Establishment of lucerne (Medicago sativa) sown on five dates with four inoculation treatments
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2012-11)
The establishment and growth of ‘Stamina 5’ lucerne (Medicago sativa) seed sown with three inoculant carriers (ALOSCA®, coated, and peat slurry treated) or as bare seed (control) on five dates (21 October 2010,
9 November ...
Natural resources for Canterbury agriculture
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2010)
This plenary paper was presented as an introduction to the Canterbury region at the combined 2010 conference for the New Zealand Grassland Association, New Zealand Agronomy Society, Australian Agronomy Society and New ...
Yield and water use of temperate pastures in summer dry environments
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
The water use efficiencies (WUE) of a range of temperate
pasture species were calculated from measurements on
several different dryland and irrigated pastures in
Canterbury. The annual WUE ranged from 6.7 kg DM/
ha/mm for ...
