Seed vigour, seedling vigour and seedling establishment of Lotus pedunculatus cav. cv. grasslands maku
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Initial establishment of Maku lotus at two South Island high country sites was 4.0 and 2.7% compared with about 20% for white clover (Trifolium repens cv. Grasslands Huia) and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus cv. ...
Interactions between pasture species and management and their implications for evaluating perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars in dairy systems
(Lincoln University, 2016-07-19)
An index to rank perennial ryegrass cultivars based on their relative economic benefit to pasture-based dairy systems, has been developed in New Zealand (Chapman et al., 2016; DairyNZ) in recent years. Performance values ...
Novel markers for drought resistance in white clover
(Lincoln University, 2011)
Introduction. White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is an out-crossing allotetraploid (2n=4x=32) that acts like a diploid, also called amphidiploid. White clover is a forage crop with a high level of genetic heterogeneity, ...
Dry matter production and weed suppression of multi-species pasture mixtures in the first year of growth
(Lincoln University, 2016-11-14)
Perennial ryegrass, plantain, white clover and red clover were grown in monocultures and up to four- species mixtures in Canterbury, New Zealand. The dry matter production and weed content for the first year of growth ...
The effect of Neotyphodium grass endophyte on alkaloid profiles, dry matter production and botanical composition of perennial ryegrass pastures
(Lincoln University, 2014)
This study involved three key experiments to examined the effect of Nil endophtye and novel endophyte strains (AR1, AR37, Wild-Type (WT) and NEA2) of perennial ryegrass on dry-matter (DM) production, botanical compositon, ...
Net photosynthesis rate and chlorophyll content of Caucasian and white clover leaves under different temperature regimes
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences., 2005)
Caucasian or kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum) was more productive than white clover (Trifolium repens)in New Zealand pastures. Examining the physiological basis for this difference can provide greater insight into the ...
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 ...
Grazing management and pasture production of tall fescue-legume mixtures in dryland pastures
(Lincoln University, 2013)
Pasture production and composition and liveweight gain of sheep grazing tall fescue-clover and perennial ryegrass-clover dryland pastures at Lincoln, Canterbury was examined in four experiments from May 2008 to December ...
Sociability of four clover species with cocksfoot during pasture establishment
(Lincoln University, 2002)
The establishment phase of six pastures was studied over a seven-month period. Four
clover species plus cocksfoot were compared with white clover/ryegrass and lucerne
pastures. All six pastures were sown into a cultivated ...
The effect of stocking rates on white clover morphology and yield
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
An assessment of the effect of stocking rate on white clover morphology and yield was made in a field experiment conducted at Lincoln College, Canterbury, from October 1983 to August 1984. Irrigated white clover/ryegrass ...
