Interactions between pasture species and management and their implications for evaluating perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars in dairy systems
(Lincoln University, 2016-07-19)
An index to rank perennial ryegrass cultivars based on their relative economic benefit to pasture-based dairy systems, has been developed in New Zealand (Chapman et al., 2016; DairyNZ) in recent years. Performance values ...
Novel markers for drought resistance in white clover
(Lincoln University, 2011)
Introduction. White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is an out-crossing allotetraploid (2n=4x=32) that acts like a diploid, also called amphidiploid. White clover is a forage crop with a high level of genetic heterogeneity, ...
Dry matter production and weed suppression of multi-species pasture mixtures in the first year of growth
(Lincoln University, 2016-11-14)
Perennial ryegrass, plantain, white clover and red clover were grown in monocultures and up to four- species mixtures in Canterbury, New Zealand. The dry matter production and weed content for the first year of growth ...
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, ...
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 ...
Grazing management and pasture production of tall fescue-legume mixtures in dryland pastures
(Lincoln University, 2013)
Pasture production and composition and liveweight gain of sheep grazing tall fescue-clover and perennial ryegrass-clover dryland pastures at Lincoln, Canterbury was examined in four experiments from May 2008 to December ...
Tolerance of newly sown cocksfoot-clover pastures to the herbicide imazethapyr
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2017)
In New Zealand, subterranean clover is recommended as a companion legume in mixed swards, particularly in dryland cocksfoot-based pastures. However, establishment of cocksfoot is slower than perennial ryegrass and therefore ...
Identification of pasture mixtures that maximise dry matter yield
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2017)
A mixture experiment was conducted to identify an optimal pasture seed mixture that maximised dry matter (DM) yield under irrigated, sheep-grazed conditions inmid-Canterbury, New Zealand. Nineteen seed mixtures were created ...
Yield benefits of pasture mixtures with species drilled in the same and alternate rows
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2018)
This study investigated the effect of sowing species in alternate drill rows on dry matter (DM) yield of pasture mixtures. Seven mixtures of ‘Base’ perennial ryegrass, ‘Tonic’ plantain and ‘Apex’ white clover (three pure, ...
