Inheritance studies in four New Zealand wheat cultivars
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
Inheritance and correlations of yield, yield components, and morpho-physiological and agronomic characters involving four parent diallel crosses of F₁ and F₂ generation were studied in Kopara, Ruru, Hilgendorf and Oroua. ...
Response surfaces of growth and yield of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
In the 1976-77 and 1977-78 seasons four field experiments using a three factor central composite second order design in incomplete blocks were conducted to quantify the responses of autumn-sown wheats established at five ...
Tiller population dynamics in wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1978)
In field-sown wheat grown in Canterbury, variation in the density of ears accounts for most of the differences between grain yields (Dougherty 1973; Scott 1978; Scott et al. 1977). Ear number is a component of yield which ...
Inheritance and selection in two New Zealand wheat crosses
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the inheritance of yield per plant and yield components, their responses to single plant selection in F₂, and line selection in F₃ of the two crosses, Hilgendorf x Oroua and ...
Some environmental effects on the water status of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1977)
The influence of soil moisture status and various meteorological parameters on the water relations of wheat were studies both in the field and under controlled environment conditions. Water potentials of the leaf and ear ...
A study of grain yield and nitrogen content in different shoots of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Three field experiments were conducted on different high fertility soils during the years 1979-80 and 1980-81 to investigate factors controlling grain yield and nitrogen content in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Autumn-sown ...
Environmental control of tillering and yield of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Four experiments were conducted in controlled and field environments from 1982 to 1984 to establish relationships between dry matter growth rate and tillering, yield components and grain yield of wheat.
In the first ...
Epidemiology and crop loss assessment for disease management in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
The epidemiology of Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) Schroeter was studied for two seasons and the role of ascospores as primary inoculum of the disease was examined as a basis for the development of control measures. ...
Genetic, edaphic and procedural factors determining the inherent pasting properties of wheat starch
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
A Minipaster apparatus, based on a Haake rotary viscometer but with a small sensor head resembling that of the Brabender Amylograph, was developed to investigate thermal pasting of starch water suspensions with starch ...
Components of grain yield and total nonstructural carbohydrates in wheat : a thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Responses of autumn-sown wheat crops to various agronomic inputs were investigated in three field experiments over two seasons, and the causes of yield variation were analysed by simultaneous carbohydrate measurements in ...
