The influence of population and weeds, on the yield of fodder beet
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1964)
To achieve maximum crop yield, factors influencing growth must be identified, evaluated and limiting ones overcome. Limits to growth will be revealed by studying the crop in terms of its physiology, ecology and particularly ...
Climatic and aspect influences on pasture production in New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
In view of the scarcity of published information on pasture production and climate relationships in New Zealand and especially such relationships in hill country these factors were studied at 23 lowland sites throughout ...
The effect of amidochlor and mefluidide on the development of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
A field trial was set up in spring 1986 to study the effects of the two plant growth retardants amidochlor (N-(acetoamino)methyl-2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl) and mefluidide (N(2,4-dimethyl-5-[[(trifluoromethyl) sulphonyl] ...
Effect of sowing date, cultivar and disease on grain yield and yield components of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
Two field experiments were carried out on a medium, moderately fertile soil in Canterbury in the 1984-85 and 1985-86 growth seasons. The aim was to investigate and analyse the effect of sowing date, cultivar and disease ...
Studies of the establishment of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) and the rate of breakdown of hardseededness
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
The object of first experiment was undertaken to determine the best time of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) sowing in autumn. The effect of dates (6 February, 4 March, 27 March and 9 April) of sowing, irrigation ...
Studies on the field establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus x Lupinus arboreus).
(Lincoln University, 1990)
Three field experiments in 1988 and 1989 evaluated the agronomic factors affecting the emergence and establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus X L. arboreus). The first experiment in 1988 looked at the combined ...
Effects of sowing depth and nitrogen on emergence and establishment of a range of important New Zealand pasture grass species
(Lincoln University, 1993)
The effects of sowing depth and nitrogen (N) on emergence and establishment of prairie grass (Bromus willdenowii Kunth., mean seed weight 12.0 mg); upland brome (Bromus sitchensis L., 6.7 mg); annual ryegrass Lolium ...
Grazing duration studies on lucerne/grass mixtures
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1989)
Mixtures of WL 320 lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) with Matua prairie grass (Bromus willdenowii Kunth) or Maru phalaris (Phalaris aquatica L.) were compared with pure lucerne over a one and half year period. Two grazing ...
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 ...
The growth, development, and agronomic management of Camelina sativa
(Lincoln University, 2014)
Over the 2013/2014 growing season a Camelina growth trial was undertaken at Ashley Dene, Canterbury, New Zealand to determine the response to different sowing dates, sowing rates and the application of plant growth regulators. ...
