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 ...
Distinguishing among Magnolia cultivars using fluorescent Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) analysis
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of The Royal Society of New Zealand, 2001)
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to generate informative DNA fingerprints from Magnolia denudata, M. liliiflora, and putative cultivars of their hybrid cross, i.e., M. x soulangeana, M. x ...
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 ...
Accounting for the utilization of a N₂O mitigation tool in the IPCC inventory methodology for agricultural soils
(Springer Netherlands, 2007)
In this study we review recent studies
where dicyandiamide was used as a nitrification inhibitor to reduce both N₂O emissions from urine patches and nitrate leaching from pasture systems, and which led to the development ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hydrothermal time germination models for radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don)
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-08)
The objective of this study was to fit a hydrothermal germination model to germination data for a seedlot of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don). Seeds were incubated for 50 d at constant temperatures and water potentials ...
Estimating values of environmental impacts of dairy farming in New Zealand
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of The Royal Society of New Zealand, 2009)
New Zealand is the world’s largest exporter of dairy products, supplying about one third of global trade. The dairy sector strives to maintain international competitiveness by continued increases in productivity and ...
Morphological, anatomical, and physiological changes of orchardgrass leaves grown under fluctuating light regimes
(American Society of Agronomy, 2007)
The physiological and anatomical adaptability of pastures growing under trees in silvopastoral systems can alter the efficiency of conversion of energy to dry matter (DM). This study was conducted to determine the effects ...
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 ...
