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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effects of MaxP™ endophyte in tall fescue on pasture production and sheep grazing preference, in a dryland environment
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2007)
Pasture growth, botanical composition and sheep grazing preference were measured over 20 months in tall fescue (cultivar Advance), without endophyte (Nil) or infected with AR542 (MaxPTM) endophyte, and clover pastures sown ...
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 ...
The study of rural change from a social scientific perspective: a literature review and annotated bibliography
(Lincoln University. Department of Social Science, Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Sport, 2009-07)
This publication comprises a review of two decades of literature (1989-2009) on the social science of rural change. It was constructed as an aid to research on the changing nature of Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand, ...
