Net photosynthesis rate and chlorophyll content of Caucasian and white clover leaves under different temperature regimes
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences., 2005)
Caucasian or kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum) was more productive than white clover (Trifolium repens)in New Zealand pastures. Examining the physiological basis for this difference can provide greater insight into the ...
Sociability of four clover species with cocksfoot during pasture establishment
(Lincoln University, 2002)
The establishment phase of six pastures was studied over a seven-month period. Four
clover species plus cocksfoot were compared with white clover/ryegrass and lucerne
pastures. All six pastures were sown into a cultivated ...
Evaluating the SIRIUS wheat crop simulation model in Canterbury : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2003)
An on-farm trial was conducted in an irrigated commercial wheat crop on a property near Dorie in the 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 seasons to validate the SIRIUS crop simulation model. Three nitrogen treatments were applied, a ...
A comparison of establishment methods of permanent pasture into an undeveloped depleted tussock grassland : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours, Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2007)
This research compared pasture establishment, with or without cultivation, with two drill types, Cross Slot or triple disc and with 0, 2 or 6 t ha ⁻¹ of lime in an herbicided, undeveloped depleted tussock grassland, at ...
The value of reduced-rate insecticide applications in achieving differential mortality of the lettuce aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri (Mosley) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and one of its predators, the Tasmanian lacewing Micromus tasmaniae (Walker) (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours
(Lincoln University, 2004)
The application of reduced-rate concentrations of insecticides has potential as a component of integrated pest management (IPM). This is because there is theoretical and practical evidence that the survival of predatory ...
Sheep urinary lysergyls as a biomarker of exposure to ergovaline: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2003)
Ergovaline is one of the ergot alkaloid toxins produced through association of the endophyte Neotyphodium lolii with perennial ryegrass. Ergovaline affects the health and productivity of sheep grazing ryegrass infected ...
How does defoliation management impact on yield, canopy forming processes and light interception of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) crops?
(Elsevier, 2007)
The frequency of defoliation is the major management tool that modulates shoot yield and the accumulation of C and N root reserves in lucerne crops. A fully irrigated, two year old lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) crop was ...
Breeding for resistance to lentil Ascochyta blight
(Blackwell Publishing, 2002-06)
Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta lentis, is one of the most globally important diseases of lentil. Breeding for host resistance has been suggested as an efficient means to control this disease. This paper summarizes ...
Control of gorse (Ulex europaeus) in dryland pasture converted from Pinus radiata forest
(New Zealand Plant Protection Society, 2007-09-24)
The effect of crop sequence, pasture species mixture and nitrogen fertiliser
on gorse establishment was monitored over 23 months in land converted
from pine forest to a dryland sheep pasture. There were fewer gorse plants
in ...
Pasture and forage options for store lamb and beef production from South Island hill and high country
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Department of Agricultural Sciences, 2009-04)
In 2005 the Lees Valley Farmers Group applied for a MAF Sustainable Farming Fund (SFF) Grant to investigate pasture and forage options for the intensification of South Island Hill and High Country. At the beginning of the ...
