Competitive ability of Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum) compared with white clover (Trifolium repens) on lowland and high country sites
(Lincoln University, 1996)
The competitive ability of Caucasian clover and white clover was assessed at three fertile lowland sites of different ages and one low fertility 21 year old high country site during autumn 1996.
The first lowland site ...
Identifying acceptable vegetation change in high country landscapes
(Lincoln University, 1994)
The study sought to develop a method for identifying areas of agreement among stakeholders as to acceptable and unacceptable vegetation change in the high country.
The contentious issue of vegetation change in the high ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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] ...
Crossing the species barrier: investigating vertical transmission of a fungal endophyte from tall fescue within a novel ryegrass association
(Lincoln University, 2017-02-28)
Many Poaceae grasses form a symbiosis with Epichloë fungal endophytes. Initially a serious problem in agriculture due to their production of alkaloids toxic to livestock, endophyte strains were identified that were less ...
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, ...
