The effects of soil manganese on the availability of soil cobalt for pasture uptake in New Zealand soils
(Lincoln University, 2000)
The effects of soil manganese on soil cobalt availability for plant uptake were studied systematically through various chemical extractants, sequential chemical fractionation, glasshouse pot trials and field monitoring ...
Influence of green manuring and phosphate rock inputs on soil phosphorus cycling and availability
(Lincoln University, 2003)
In organic farming systems continued application of phosphorus (P) is necessary to maintain crop and animal production, especially in the long-term, if economically viable returns are to be sustained. The most commonly ...
Metabolism of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins in sheep
(Lincoln University, 1991)
This thesis describes two approaches for studying of lipoprotein metabolism in sheep. The first approach involves the assay of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity to determine the role of lipoprotein-triacylglycerol fatty ...
Nitrogen fixation by Ulex europaeus (gorse) and Cytisus scoparius (broom)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
A series of glasshouse and laboratory experiments was carried out to enable comparison of two woody perennial legumes, gorse and broom, with other legumes, nodulated non-legumes and other biological nitrogen fixing ...
Population dynamics and pest assessment studies of grass grub (Costelytra zealandica (White), Melolonthinae) in the North Island of New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
Studies of the common grass grub (Costelytra zealandica (White)) covered two major aspects, population ecology and pest assessment. The object or these studies was to investigate the feasibility of developing models, ...
Productivity and water use of seven pasture grasses when sown alone and in binary mixtures
(Lincoln University, 1994)
Three experiments were conducted on a Wakanui silt loam between 6 March 1991 and 26 February 1993. These examined the grass treatments for: production (28 grass treatments, seven single sown and 21 binary mixtures), water ...

(Lincoln University, 1999)
Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), the green vegetable bug (GVB) is a serious pest of process sweet corn Zea mays (L.) in the East Cape region of the North Island, New Zealand. In the past seven years the ...
Effect of temperature on development of Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Lolium perenne (L.) (Gramineae: Festucoidae)
(Lincoln University, 1999)
Argentine stem weevil (ASW) Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) is an introduced species that attacks improved graminaceous pasture and crop throughout much of New Zealand. It is recognised as the most important arthropod ...
Nitrogen nutrition of mycorrhizal pines
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1972)
Nitrogen has been central to many of these speculations regarding the function of mycorrhizas in tree nutrition and growth. Historically it was felt that mycorrhizas were more efficient in absorbing nitrogen from humus ...
Study of the agronomy of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Canterbury
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
The potential of chickpea as a new grain legume crop for Canterbury was evaluated in both field and glasshouse experiments. Seed of the kabuli type was sown in a Templeton silt loam soil at varying plant population, with ...
