The growth of grasses and legumes on a sequence of acid soils as affected by liming and phosphate fertiliser
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1974)
The causes of differential growth of lucerne, lotus, ryegrass and brown top on a range of three acid soils were investigated by means of pot trials carried out in the glasshouse.
Of the four species, lucerne was affected ...
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 ...
Phosphorus legacy: role of long-term soil phosphorus accumulation in the sustainable management of intensive agroecosystems
(Lincoln University, 2017-08-02)
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all organisms. Phosphate rock is primarily utilised for the manufacture of P fertilisers, and is a finite resource. Most agricultural lands worldwide present low levels of available ...
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 ...
Microbiological risk assessment of fresh produce grown in Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2015)
A recent trend to consume healthy foods has led to greater preference for natural food and raw vegetables. At the same time, concerns have increased about the microbiological risks of fresh produce. This thesis focusses ...
Fertilizer and stocking rates on two King Country soils
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1973)
Parent materials such as volcanic ash and sedimentary siltstone
and sandstone form soils which differ markedly in their physical
and chemical properties. In stocking x fertilizer rate trials on
two families of soils, ...
Ode to soil
(Lincoln University. Department of Soil and Physical Sciences., 2012-01)
Water and soil are the "twin pillars" supporting life on the land. Buchan (1996) reviewed the many "talents" (wonder properties) of water. This paper reviews: a) the remarkable talents and natural functions of soil - a ...
Role of mixed herb leys in New Zealand organic cropping systems : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours) in the Lincoln University [i.e. College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1989)
Above ground dry matter production, sward composition, and herbage mineral levels were measured from three ley mixtures sown on a Wakanui silt loam, Lincoln College, Canterbury. Additionally soil fertility (exchangeable ...
Studies on Pilosella officinarum Hill (mouse-ear hawkweed) : changes in nitrogen balance and phenolic allelochemical levels under varying soil fertility conditions : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Horticultural Science (Honours) at Lincoln College
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
Mouse-ear hawkweed is a serious weed of grasslands in the South Island high country. This series of studies looked at how total nitrogen content and levels of phenolics, in particular, umbelliferone changed in response to ...
Modeling soil processes: Review, key challenges, and new perspectives
(Soil Science Society of America, 2016-05-13)
The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil models has occurred in the last decades, ...
