An evaluation of Solanum nigrum and S. physalifolium biology and management strategies to reduce nightshade fruit contamination of process pea crops
(Lincoln University, 2004)
The contamination of process pea (Pisum sativum L.) crops by the immature fruit of
black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.) and hairy nightshade (S. physalifolium Rusby
var. nitidibaccatum (Bitter.) Edmonds) causes income ...
Phaeomoniella chlamydospora: potential inoculum sources in the grapevine propagation process
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Phaeomoniella chlamydospora is a recently described fungal pathogen that infects grapevines causing Petri disease, which is observed externally as a general decline. The objective of this research programme was to identify ...
An analysis of Zespri's 2003 Organic Kiwifruit Database: factors affecting production
(2004-09)
A database of many variables collected by Zespri from their organic kiwifruit growers and packhouses has been used to find any factors that might enhance the production of larger fruit or higher production volumes. The ...
Results from a survey of organic kiwifruit growers: problems and practices that affect production
(2004-05)
This is a report of an investigation of the practices and problems of organic kiwifruit production. These are examined to better understand factors related to productivity with the general aim of improving productivity ...
Maximising the effectiveness of aerial 1080 control of possums (Trichosurus vulpecula)
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Aerial control using 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) baits is widely used in New Zealand for the control of introduced brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula), with the aim of protecting national conservation and ...
Determinants of the introduction, naturalisation, and spread of Trifolium species in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Two conceptual approaches which offer promise for improved understanding of biological invasions are conceptualizing the invasion process as a series of distinct stages and explicitly incorporating human actions into ...
Exerting power in a landscape management controversy: a case study for the proposed Penguin Parade at Boulder Bay
(Lincoln University. Landscape Architecture Group., 2004)
Managing the future of places that are esteemed for both their cultural and natural

spatialised strategies of two groups attempting to influence ...
Potassium nutrition of self-rooted pinot noir grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) grown in pots
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Berry sugar content and pH are two important quality parameters for wine grapes. Potassium (K) nutrition affects leaf photosynthesis, plant growth and carbohydrate translocation from leaves to fruits, hence, fruit sugar ...
Understanding yield and water use of dryland forage crops in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) was found to be a more productive dryland forage option than chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) or red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). This was concluded from superior annual dryland yields of 20 ...
Floral resources for the enhancement of the efficacy of Diadegma semiclausum (Helen) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), a parasitoid of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Hyponomeutidae) in broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica)
(Lincoln University, 2004)
In this thesis, conservation biological control experiments have been conducted in the broccoli agro-ecosystem in New Zealand, to target the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Hyponomeutidae)) and its ...
