Farmer views on the use of genetic engineering in agriculture
(Lincoln University. Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit, 2003-05)
The objective of the research reported here was to determine farmers’ views about genetic engineering, including their intentions to use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and their views about GMOs, environment attitudes ...
GIS-based site identification for the land application of wastewater: Christchurch City, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2003)
Land application of wastewater can have the effect of treating effluent as well as
disposing of it. In addition, nutrients and irrigation water can be recycled for the use in
agriculture and forestry. Therefore, land ...
Regulation of LH in the female common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)
(Lincoln University, 2003)
The seasonal control of reproduction, specifically the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, has not been fully investigated in the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula). This research aimed to characterise the ...
Dynamic modelling of pest control using a pesticide
(Lincoln University. Applied Computing, Mathematics and Statistics Group., 2003-08)
A general differential equation model of the temporal evolution of a pest population density when subjected
to control measures using a pesticide, is investigated. The model is based on logistic growth combined with
population ...
Influence of green manuring and phosphate rock inputs on soil phosphorus cycling and availability
(Lincoln University, 2003)
In organic farming systems continued application of phosphorus (P) is necessary to maintain crop and animal production, especially in the long-term, if economically viable returns are to be sustained. The most commonly ...
Discourse dialogue : grassroots' perspective on sustainable development : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science (International Rural Development) at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2003)
The concept of sustainable development has been discussed, debated and defined
at the global level since the 1960's. This dialogue has created questions on
whether or not the definitions promoted at the global level are ...

Nature and recreation based activities are significant components of the tourism industry in New Zealand. Growing numbers of visitors, and the needs of statutory resource managers, have placed pressure on tourism operators ...
Community mitigation preferences : a choice modelling study of Auckland streams
(Lincoln University. Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit., 2003-05)
The principal aim of this project was to apply choice modelling as a tool for development of offsetting mitigation assessment in two locations within the Auckland metropolitan area. Surveyed individuals were presented with ...
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 ...
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 ...
