Dairy farm effluent effects on urine patch nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide emissions
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2005)
Dairy farm effluent (DFE) comprises animal feces, urine, and wash-down water collected at the milking shed. This is collected daily during the milking season and sprayed onto grazed dairy pastures. Urine patches in grazed ...
Variability in yield of four grain legume species in a subhumid temperate environment. I. Yields and harvest index
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-02)
In 1998/99 and 1999/2000, field trials were conducted to try to explain why grain legume yields and harvest index are more variable than many other crops. Treatments involved varying plant populations and sowing depths and ...
Phenology and growth response to irrigation and sowing date of Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in a cool-temperate subhumid climate
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-11)
The photothermal response of three Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars, at different growth stages, to eight irrigation treatments in 1998/99 and four irrigation treatments in 1999/2000 was studied on a Wakanui ...
Light interception and utilization of four grain legumes sown at different plant populations and depths
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-06)
Canopy development, radiation absorption and its utilization for yield was studied in four grain legume species Cicer arietinum, Lens culinaris, Lupinus angustifolius and Pisum sativum. The grain legumes were grown at ...
Nitrogen distribution in four grain legumes
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-06)
The partitioning of above ground nitrogen (N) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) and pea (Pisum sativum) at crop maturity was investigated. The plants were grown at different ...
Influence of sowing date and irrigation on the growth and yield of pinto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in a sub-humid temperate environment
(Cambridge University Press, 2000-01)
The growth and yield of pinto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cv. Othello in response to a total of six sowing dates (from October to December) and irrigation was examined over two seasons in Canterbury, New Zealand. In ...
Variability in yield of four grain legume species in a subhumid temperate environment. II. Yield components
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-02)
The effects of plant population (one-tenth of the optimum to four times the optimum populations in 1998/99 and 10–400 plants/m² in 1999/2000) and sowing depth (2, 5 and 10 cm) on yield and yield components of four grain-legumes ...
Water-use efficiency and the effect of water deficits on crop growth and yield of Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in a cool-temperate subhumid climate
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-11)
The present study was conducted from 1998 to 2000, to evaluate seasonal water use and soil-water extraction by Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The response of three cultivars to eight irrigation treatments in 1998/99 ...
The effect of irrigation and sowing date on crop yield and yield components of Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in a cool-temperate subhumid climate
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-11)
The canopy development, radiation absorption and its utilization for biomass production in response to irrigation at different growth stages of three Kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars was studied on a Wakanui ...
An assessment of cadmium availability in cadmium-contaminated soils using isotope exchange kinetics
(Soil Science Society of America, 2004)
There has been much research conducted to find suitable methods for the determination of available Cd in soils. In recent years, an isotope exchange kinetics (IEK) technique has been tested to describe the kinetic transfer ...
