Evaluation of a dairy agri-environmental programme for restoring woody green infrastructure
(Taylor & Francis (Informa UK Limited), 2017)
Pastoral landscape woody vegetation provides ecosystem services, but potentially competes for space, light and nutrients that could provide additional farm production. A questionnaire determined the values and behaviours ...
The profitability of nitrogen fertiliser usage on Canterbury seasonal supply dairy farms : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours), Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 1993)
A simple model was constructed to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertiliser on milkfat production and liveweight changes in early lactation. The model incorporates
pasture responses to nitrogen, allowance/intake, ...
Restoration of Quail Island invertebrates
(Lincoln University. Ecology and Entomology Group, 2001-11)
The aim of this project is to survey the current invertebrate fauna on Quail Island (including King Billy Island) and compare it with the fauna in similar habitat in close proximity such as Magnificent Valley in Orton ...
The potential for eradication of hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) from Quail Island, Banks Peninsula
(Lincoln University. Ecology and Entomology Group, 2000-02)
European hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) are the most abundant mammal species remaining on Quail Island in Lyttelton Harbour. They are likely to be impacting on the existing native fauna of the island and will impede any ...
Governance of market-oriented fresh food value chains: Export chains from New Zealand
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2017-11-10)
The competition in international food markets is increasingly moving towards products with higher levels of added value and higher degrees of differentiation, requiring companies to become more market-oriented. Market ...
Phosphorus response and optimum pH ranges of twelve pasture legumes grown in an acid upland New Zealand soil under glasshouse conditions
(Chilean Society of Soil Science (Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo), 2016-06)
Pasture legumes provide critical nitrogen inputs but fail to persist in typical acidic low P fertility upland soils. Alternative legume species for these environments are urgently sought. Twelve novel legume species were ...
Seed development of arrowleaf, balansa, gland and Persian clover
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2015)
The development process from floral bud formation to seed maturity of four top flowering annual clovers was quantified from a field experiment across 10 sowing dates at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand.
For each ...
Premature mammary development in ewe lambs exposed to an oestrogenic lucerne pasture
(NZ Grassland Association, 2016)
A report of mammary development in 6-month-old ewe lambs grazing lucerne on a commercial farm in North Otago provided an opportunity to investigate the possibility to use this as a tool to detect oestrogenic
lucerne pastures. ...
A review of recent research and extension on dryland lucerne in New Zealand
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2014)
To maintain scientific integrity requires the publication of research articles in journals of high international standing. Results from such work are frequently discounted as irrelevant and of low value to practitioners ...
Phosphorus response and efficiency of 12 novel dryland legume species on an acid high country soil
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, 2012-02)
High country soils are typically acidic and have low fertility compared with intensive high fertility low land systems. Pasture legumes commonly used in New Zealand perform poorly in these environments. The optimum soil P ...
