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) ...
Ecological and physiological studies of Clematis vitaba L.
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Clematis vitalba L. is a deciduous perennial climber native to central Europe and southern England which has become a major invasive weed species in New Zealand native forest remnants. In forest remnants, C. vitalba tends ...
The carbon and nitrogen physiology of Achillea millefolium L. (Yarrow)
(Lincoln University, 1993)
Achillea millefolium (L.) in New Zealand has become an increasing problem on arable and horticultural land where selective control remains difficult to achieve. Patterns of carbon and nitrogen accumulation and use were ...
The development of a sequential sampling plan for management of stripe rust (Puccina striiformis West.) in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis West., was studied in three seasons between 1981 and 1984, on the susceptible wheat cv. Rongotea. A sample unit of the top three leaves on a W-shaped sample pattern provided the ...

(Lincoln University, 2000)
The spider assemblage from four shelterbelts and their adjacent grazed pastures in South Island, New Zealand was suction sampled from August 1994 to July 1995 and from March 1996 to March 1997. Spider density decreased ...
Phenology and management of hemipteran pests in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) seed crops, Canterbury (New Zealand)
(Lincoln University, 1998)
New Zealand currently supplies approximately 60% of the world white clover (Trifolium repens L.) seed market, of which 99% is produced in the Canterbury growing region. However, this important cash crop may be infested by ...
Relative reductions in counts of enteric bacteria and bacteriophages in surface and groundwaters
(Lincoln University, 2003)
Reductions in counts of enteric indicator bacteria and bacteriophages were compared in surface and groundwaters. In surface waters, inactivation rates were determined in sunlight-exposed and dark chambers of fresh and ...
The evolutionary history of the 'Oxycanus' lineages of hepialid moths in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 1998)
This thesis attempted to reconstruct the evolutionary history of part of New Zealand's hepialid fauna. Phylogenetic analysis was used to test the monophyly of the informal 'Oxycanus' Cladoxycanus and 'Oxycanus' s. str. ...
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 ...
