Ecology and diversity of indigenous Trichoderma species in vegetable cropping systems
(Lincoln University, 2008)
The overall aim of this research was to improve the understanding of the ecology and
diversity of Trichoderma species within the soil and rhizosphere of onion (Allium cepa
L.) and potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) under intensive ...
Ectomycorrhizal communities associated with a Pinus radiata plantation in the North Island, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2008)
Aboveground and belowground ectomycorrhizal (ECM) communities associated with different age classes of the exotic plantation species Pinus radiata were investigated over the course of two years in the North Island of New ...
Influence of a legume green manure crop on barley straw/stubble decomposition, and soil nitrogen retention and availability
(Lincoln University, 2008)
The incorporation of cereal straw/stubble often immobilises nitrogen (N). This can help
conserve N in soil in organic forms, thus reducing loss through leaching over dormant
winter periods. However, N-depressions that arise ...
The effect of forest to pasture conversion on soil biological diversity and function
(Lincoln University, 2008)
Recent declines in returns from primary forest products in New Zealand and projected increases in world food prices have led to the land-use conversion from plantation forest to pastoral farming in many lowland areas. After ...
'Attract and reward' : combining a floral resource subsidy with a herbivore-induced plant volatile to enhance conservation biological control
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Experiments were conducted to assess whether a concept termed 'attract and reward' (A&R) could enhance conservation biological control (CBC). In A&R, a synthetically-produced herbivore induced plant volatile (HIPV) ('attract') ...
Assessment of the extent of alpine areas being utilised as possum habitat in Westland

Biological control of Sclerotina diseases of vegetables
(Lincoln University, 2000)
Sixty three fungal isolates, obtained from the local region (Canterbury, New Zealand), were tested for their ability to inhibit mycelial growth and sclerotial production of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum using a cabbage petiole ...
Ecology of long-tailed bats Chalinolobus tuberculatus (Forster, 1844) in the Waitakere Ranges: implications for monitoring
(Lincoln University, 2001)
The long-tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) is a threatened species endemic to New Zealand. Historical anecdotes indicate that long-tailed bat populations have declined. However, it is unknown if all populations have ...
Web site characteristics, dispersal and species status of New Zealand's katipo spiders, Latrodectus katipo and L. atritus
(Lincoln University, 2001)
Over the last 30 years, Latrodectus katipo Powell 1870 and L. atritus Urquhart 1890 numbers have declined and these species are now absent from many dune systems where they were once common.
The cause of the decline in ...
Biological control of onion white rot using Trichoderma harzianum
(Lincoln University, 2001)
The biological control of Sclerotium cepivorum, the causal agent of onion white rot, by Trichoderma harzianum and T. virens was studied in a glasshouse trial. T. Harzianum (isolates C52 and D73) and T. virens (isolate GV4) ...
