Effects of sowing depth and nitrogen on emergence and establishment of a range of important New Zealand pasture grass species
(Lincoln University, 1993)
The effects of sowing depth and nitrogen (N) on emergence and establishment of prairie grass (Bromus willdenowii Kunth., mean seed weight 12.0 mg); upland brome (Bromus sitchensis L., 6.7 mg); annual ryegrass Lolium ...
An investigation of the incorporation of a standoff facility with the grazing of fodder beet in a Canterbury dairy wintering system
(Lincoln University, 2014)
Dairy farmers are under scrutiny for the negative effect their farming operations have on the environment, particularly in regard to nitrate leaching. The National Policy Statement for Freshwater has directed regional ...
Autumn nitrogen effects on perrenial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) pastures in dryland Canterbury.
(Lincoln University, 2012)
This research examined the effects of autumn nitrogen application at five rates (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 kg N/ha) on dry matter production and the nutritive value of cocksfoot and perennial ryegrass, and the subterranean ...
Dry matter production of Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) under rotational grazing at Ashley Dene
(Lincoln University, 2012)
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is a key legume for dryland farming systems in New Zealand. This experiment compared dry matter production of seven lucerne cultivars across six paddocks in a rotationally grazed system. ...
Protein and carbohydrate composition of lucerne grown in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1970)
Carbohydrate fractions and total nitrogen were measured in
leaves and stems of Wairau lucerne grown in Canterbury.
Leaves had lower levels of total soluble carbohydrate (3-5%),
cellulose (8-10%) and lignin (2-4%), and ...
The importance of roots and rhizomes as storage organs of nutrients in the persistence of Caucasian clover
(Lincoln University, 1993)
Caucasian clover is the only one of nine sown legumes species still persisting in the absence of maintenance fertiliser in a fertility gradient field trial established by FRI at Mt. Possession Station, mid Canterbury in ...

(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Department of Agricultural Sciences, 2011-11-01)
The Lees Valley Farmer’s Group (LVFG) was formed in January 2005 to discuss agronomic issues related to the intensification of Lees Valley and similar farm types throughout the South Island. The initial project terminated ...
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 ...
Effect of using a catch crop to reduce nitrate leaching losses from winter grazed fodder beet soil
(Lincoln University, 2017-11-13)
Grazing of winter forage crops such as fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and kale (Brassica oleracea L.) is a common management option for increasing winter feed supply on New Zealand farms. This practice is most often ...
Dry matter production and water use of dryland cocksfoot/lupin and lucerne pastures in the third year after establishment
(Lincoln University, 2017-11-14)
Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) is a preferred grass option for dryland pastures on high country farms in the South Island of New Zealand. However, increasing the productivity of cocksfoot based pastures with legumes is ...
