Application of isotopic dilution methods to the study of the dissolution of phosphate fertilisers of differing solubility in the soil
(Lincoln University, 1991)
An injection technique, in which undisturbed soil cores are labelled with ³²P to study dissolution of phosphate fertilisers in the soil, was evaluated in field and glasshouse trials. When ³²P was injected between 0-150 mm ...
Agricultural waste manual
(Lincoln College. NZAEI., 1984-12)
Agricultural waste management is a rapidly changing technology. It is
subject to government regulation and sensitive to population growth patterns,
community attitudes and land use changes. It is influenced by
variables ...
Aspects of the ecology of a strawberry crop with special reference to twospotted spider mite (Tetranychidae: Acari)
(Lincoln University, 1986)
Twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) and wheat bug (Nysius huttoni White) are present in Canterbury strawberry crops in potentially damaging numbers. Both can be, and are, controlled by chemicals. More wheat ...
An approach to the identification, characterization and evaluation of wild nature resources
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
Wild Nature is a quality exhibited by some ecosystem resources, and which is valued by many people. It is however problematic for managers who need to be able to identify where it occurs, characterize both the beneficiaries ...
Environmental control of tillering and yield of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Four experiments were conducted in controlled and field environments from 1982 to 1984 to establish relationships between dry matter growth rate and tillering, yield components and grain yield of wheat.
In the first ...
Abundance, activity and distribution of soil-surface arthropod predators in arable farmland
(Lincoln University, 1997)
Intensive agricultural techniques, such as the high input of pesticides has caused increasing pest problems in arable agroecosystems. In New Zealand, biodiversity and sustainability in agroecosystems have become important ...
The growth of lucerne following defoliation
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1970)
Much agricultural research has been directed towards maximizing pasture and crop yields. This has involved the identification of factors limiting growth and the formulation of management systems which will assist swards ...
A study of grain filling in barley
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Two field experiments were conducted during the years 1980-81 and 1981-82 to investigate the effect of carpel weight at anthesis on potential grain weight of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). In the first experiment three high ...
A comparison of Maori and Pakeha attitudes to land
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury., 1985)
New Zealand is becoming increasingly
marked by disputes over land use; the
Motunui outfall, the Clyde dam,
Manakau Harbour and the Waimairi
landfill, are all disputes over what is
the most appropriate use of land.
These ...
The impact of selective beech (Nothofagus spp.) harvest on litter-dwelling invertebrates and the process of litter decomposition
(Lincoln University, 1999)
Minimising the potential impact of forest management requires an understanding of the key elements that maintain forest diversity and its role in ecological processes. Invertebrates are the most diverse of all biota and ...
