Studies on the field establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus x Lupinus arboreus).
(Lincoln University, 1990)
Three field experiments in 1988 and 1989 evaluated the agronomic factors affecting the emergence and establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus X L. arboreus). The first experiment in 1988 looked at the combined ...
Relationship between rainfall and sheep farm productivity : case studies in a variable environment
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Relationships between quantity of rainfall, reproductive and wool performance were examined for at least the last decade on four properties situated in the East Coast dryland environment. Results from all properties varied. ...
Effects of sowing depth and nitrogen on emergence and establishment of a range of important New Zealand pasture grass species
(Lincoln University, 1993)
The effects of sowing depth and nitrogen (N) on emergence and establishment of prairie grass (Bromus willdenowii Kunth., mean seed weight 12.0 mg); upland brome (Bromus sitchensis L., 6.7 mg); annual ryegrass Lolium ...

Development of mechanistic energy balance models for grassland
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Grasslands are responsible for a significant percentage of the world's food supplies and, due to their large geographical extent, have an important influence on global climate. Major determinants of grassland productivity ...
Competitive ability of Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum) compared with white clover (Trifolium repens) on lowland and high country sites
(Lincoln University, 1996)
The competitive ability of Caucasian clover and white clover was assessed at three fertile lowland sites of different ages and one low fertility 21 year old high country site during autumn 1996.
