Nitrogen yields from sown pasture components in cocksfoot based pastures in a temperate environment

Mills, Annamaria; Moot, Derrick J. (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 companion legumes. In mixtures, legume ...
Establishment, annual yield and nitrogen response of eight perennial grasses in a high country environment

Fasi, V.; Mills, Annamaria; Moot, Derrick J.; Scott, Warwick R.; Pollock, Keith M. (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
An experiment was established within the Lees Valley (400 m a.s.l.), Canterbury out of low producing, browntop dominant grassland. The aim was to quantify dry matter (DM) production of improved perennial grasses in relation to temperature and nitrogen inp ...
Natural resources for Canterbury agriculture

Moot, Derrick J.; Mills, Annamaria; Pollock, Keith M. (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 Zeland Soil Science Society held at L ...
Establishment of lucerne (Medicago sativa) sown on five dates with four inoculation treatments

Wigley, K.; Moot, Derrick J.; Khumalo, Qakathekile; Mills, Annamaria (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2012)
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 2010, 8 December 2010, 13 January ...
Dryland pasture yields and botanical composition over 5 years under sheep grazing in Canterbury

Mills, Annamaria; Smith, M.; Lucas, Richard J.; Moot, Derrick J. (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 (13.1-18.5 t/ha/yr) through hig ...
Yield and water use of temperate pastures in summer dry environments

Moot, Derrick J.; Brown, H.; Pollock, Keith M.; Mills, Annamaria (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 a dryland cocksfoot pasture to 40 ...
Annual dry matter, metabolisable energy and nitrogen yields of six dryland pastures six and seven years after establishment

Mills, Annamaria; Moot, Derrick J. (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 (2008/09). Lucerne (Medicago sativa) yi ...
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 preparation and establishment o ...
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 between November 2005 and February 2007. T ...
Cocksfoot pasture production in relation to environmental variables

Mills, Annamaria; Moot, Derrick J.; McKenzie, Bruce A. (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2006)
The effects of temperature, water and nitrogen on pasture production of an 8 year old ‘Wana’ cocksfoot pasture were quantified at Lincoln University, Canterbury. The maximum dry matter (DM) yield was 22.0 t/ha/yr when neither water nor N were limiting. Cr ...
