We investigated factors affecting the success of 14 species of ungulates introduced to New Zealand around 1851-1926. The 11 successful species had a shorter maximum life span and were introduced in greater numbers than the ...
Uptake and residual value of 15N-labelled fertilizer applied to first and second year grass seed crops in New Zealand
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-08)
This study was established to quantify the uptake of ¹⁵N-labelled nitrogen (urea) applied in the first and second years of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and browntop ...

probably conservative as it does not include the cost due to the
reduction in productivity ...

(Lincoln University, 2001)
In the short-term mixed cropping farming system, commonly used on the Canterbury Plains region of New Zealand, grazed ryegrass-white clover pastures are grown in rotation with arable crops. Arable crops are generally grown ...
