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 ...
Relationship between rainfall and sheep farm productivity : case studies in a variable environment
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Relationships between quantity of rainfall, reproductive and wool performance were examined for at least the last decade on four properties situated in the East Coast dryland environment. Results from all properties varied. ...
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 ...
The growth, yield and water use responses of lentils (Lens culinaris Medic.) to irrigation
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
In a field trial conducted at Lincoln, New Zealand, during 1984/85, the water relations and the growth and yield responses of lentils (Lens culinaris Medic.) to irrigation were investigated. The cultivars Titore and Olympic ...
The growth of grasses and legumes on a sequence of acid soils as affected by liming and phosphate fertiliser
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1974)
The causes of differential growth of lucerne, lotus, ryegrass and brown top on a range of three acid soils were investigated by means of pot trials carried out in the glasshouse.
Of the four species, lucerne was affected ...
The effect of plant population and growth regulators on the growth and yield of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) cv. Olympic
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1989)
Two field experiments were conducted, one in spring 1987/88, and one in autumn 1988/89, to investigate the effect of plant population and growth regulators on the growth and yield of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) cv. ...
Management of lucerne in the cool season
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1990)
The performance of dormant and winter-active
lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars was
compared under sheep grazing in 2 experiments
during the cool season. The objectives were to
define the cool season management ...
A study of yield, quality and subsoil water uptake of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Kopara
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1981)
Several seasons trials at Lincoln College have helped provide a greater understanding of how the yield components of autumn sown wheat are determined (Dougherty et al. 1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, Scott et al. 1973, 1977). ...
An economic study of wheat-farms in Springs County
(Canterbury Agricultural College, University of New Zealand, 1929)
“Wheat is by far the most valuable plant in the world. It is the main source of food for modern Europe, for much of Asia for America and Australasia.
In view of its importance it is strange that there should be no record ...
Development of mechanistic energy balance models for grassland
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Grasslands are responsible for a significant percentage of the world's food supplies and, due to their large geographical extent, have an important influence on global climate. Major determinants of grassland productivity ...
