Testing alternative breeding methods in white clover
(Lincoln University, 2014)
A series of experiments were conducted to estimate the genetic parameters for an elite breeding population of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) in both an irrigated and dryland environment. Data collected from two ...
The growth, development, and agronomic management of Camelina sativa
(Lincoln University, 2014)
Over the 2013/2014 growing season a Camelina growth trial was undertaken at Ashley Dene, Canterbury, New Zealand to determine the response to different sowing dates, sowing rates and the application of plant growth regulators. ...
The next step: intensification of East Coast hill country farming
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Commerce. Kellogg Rural Leaders Programme., 2014)
This project sought to identify whether utilising ‘spray and pray’, as a re-grassing tool on hill country, was an option for all East Coast hill country farmers that were looking to intensify their operations. The advantages ...
Seed development of arrowleaf, balansa, gland and Persian clover
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2015)
The development process from floral bud formation to seed maturity of four top flowering annual clovers was quantified from a field experiment across 10 sowing dates at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand.
For each ...
Influence of soil pH, phosphorus and sulphur on the frequency of rhizobia genotypes found in four pasture legume species grown in an acid high country soil
(Lincoln University, 2014)
South Island hill and high country soils typically have deficiencies of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and molybdenum. The soils often have low pH and as such, high levels of exchangeable aluminium and manganese, causing ...
The effect of Neotyphodium grass endophyte on alkaloid profiles, dry matter production and botanical composition of perennial ryegrass pastures
(Lincoln University, 2014)
This study involved three key experiments to examined the effect of Nil endophtye and novel endophyte strains (AR1, AR37, Wild-Type (WT) and NEA2) of perennial ryegrass on dry-matter (DM) production, botanical compositon, ...
Consumer attitudes to New Zealand food product attributes and technology use in key international markets
(Lincoln University, 2015-05)
The study described in this paper builds on the research above. It is a pilot survey of 100 consumers each in the United Kingdom (UK), India, China, Indonesia, Japan and Korea. The survey gathers information on attitudes ...
Optimal grazing management to achieve high yields and utilisation of dryland lucerne
(NZ Grassland Association, 2016)
The pre- and post-grazing dry matter yields from six individual paddocks in a grazed lucerne rotation were compared at Ashley Dene, Lincoln University, over 5 years. The mean annual yield was ~12 000 kg DM/ha and unaffected ...
Water extraction and use of seedling and established dryland lucerne crops
(Lincoln University, 2014)
The main aim of this research was to refine best management practices for dryland lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) crops in relation to crop water extraction. To do this, dryland lucerne was established at Lincoln University, ...
Lime, phosphorus and sulphur response of French serradella (Ornithopus sativus) grown in an acid upland soil
(International Scientific Publications, 2014-06-01)
Soil acidity severely restricts legume persistence and growth in grazed upland agriculture in New Zealand. An alternative and potentially acid tolerant forage legume, French serradella (Ornithopus sativus), was examined ...
