The effect of subsoiling on plant nutrition and pasture production
(Lincoln University, 1993)
An eighteen month field trial was conducted to determine the effect of soil loosening on plant nutrition and pasture production.
The field trial was conducted on an established (8 year old) mixed sward pasture. The soil ...
Availability of phosphate fertilizers in unlimed and limed acid soils as affected by wetting and air-drying
(Lincoln University, 1991)
The interactions between air-drying and rewetting, and liming or timing of phosphate (P) fertilizer application on plant availability of monocalcium phosphate (MCP) or reactive phosphate rock (PR) fertilizers were studied ...
Genetically modified broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) containing an antisense acc oxidase gene
(Lincoln University, 1999)
In broccoli, post-harvest senescence is rapid, with loss of chlorophyll resulting in the yellowing of sepals from immature florets. Associated with this deterioration is an increase in ethylene production. In order to delay ...
A study of insect pests of brussels sprouts in Canterbury; their phenology and the resultant crop losses
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
The relationships between insect pests and damage in Brussels sprouts were studied for three seasons in Canterbury. Each season the major pest species, white butterfly (Artogeia rapae L.), diamondback moth (Plutella ...
Plant parasitic nematodes: the effect of lolines.
(Lincoln University, 2008)
Grass endophytes live their entire life cycle within the aerial portion of the grass host,
with which they form a defensive mutualism. The endophyte which resides
intercellularly within the grass, synthesizes an array ...
Ecology and management of Himalayan thar and sympatric chamois in the Southern Alps, New Zealand

Carotenoid pigmentation of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
(Lincoln University, 1992)
Carotenoid pigmentation of chinook salmon under commercial conditions was investigated in a series of experiments carried out in fresh water and salt water. The carotenoid composition of salmonids and factors regulating ...
An integrated approach to inflow forecasting for reservoir management: The upper Waitaki
(Lincoln University, 1996)
In 1992 New Zealand experienced one of its worst electricity shortages in history. This was blamed on the drought of 1991/1992 and the management of the water stored in the hydro lakes. A review committee was set up by ...
Relationships between soil water retention and soil composition
(Lincoln University, 1991)
Relationships between soil water retention and physical composition have been examined in this study, using a database of two independent sets of soils from two regions in New Zealand: Canterbury in the South Island (Set ...
The ryegrass endophyte in a cool-moist environment
(Lincoln University, 1996)
The endophytic fungus (Acremonium lolii) of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) was studied in a field grazing experiment in a cool-moist environment, supplemented by more detailed glasshouse experiments on its interaction ...
