Some aspects of herbage quality in Canterbury high and hill country pastures
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1977)
A current review of some general aspects of herbage quality and its evaluation is presented. It is concluded that the two-stage in vitro digestion procedure is a reliable predictor of in vivo digestibility, and that the ...
Response surfaces of growth and yield of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
In the 1976-77 and 1977-78 seasons four field experiments using a three factor central composite second order design in incomplete blocks were conducted to quantify the responses of autumn-sown wheats established at five ...
Tiller population dynamics in wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1978)
In field-sown wheat grown in Canterbury, variation in the density of ears accounts for most of the differences between grain yields (Dougherty 1973; Scott 1978; Scott et al. 1977). Ear number is a component of yield which ...
Some environmental effects on the water status of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1977)
The influence of soil moisture status and various meteorological parameters on the water relations of wheat were studies both in the field and under controlled environment conditions. Water potentials of the leaf and ear ...
The host-plant relationships of Paropsis charybdis stal (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
Paropsis charybdis Stal, the eucalypt tortoise beetle, is an Australian chrysomelid accidentally introduced into New Zealand early this century. Since then it has caused considerable damage to various species of Eucalyptus ...
A comparison of the cool season activity of two white clover cultivars
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1972)
Although New Zealand is fortunate in having a climate mild enough to allow some growth of pasture in winter even in the extreme south of the South Island (Duffy, 1971), growth is nevertheless considerably less than in ...
Cool storage of pine seedlings
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1974)
Aspects of the seedling physiology of Pinus radiata D. Don, and and Pinus mugo Turra, have been studied following periods in cool storage of up to 18 weeks. Prior to storage the seedlings were subject to different treatments ...
Chemical nature and distribution of soil organic phosphate in two chronosequences of soils
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1974)
A method for the extraction of organic phosphate (Po) from soils was developed and used for the examination of samples from two chronosequences of soils. The total Po content of each soil from the Manawatu and Franz Josef ...
A study of a set of hydrosequences and chronosequences in Manawatu County
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1974)
Some hydrosequences and chronosequences developed on windblown sand in the Manawatu-Rangitikei sand country were sampled and soil morphogenesis outlined by detailed profile descriptions. The extent to which the state factors ...
Growth, persistence and competition between strains of Rhizobium lupini schroeter
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1978)
Strains of Rhizobium lupini on Lupinus spp. and Ornithopus sativus (serradella) were tested for growth, persistence and competition in nodule formation in growth cabinets, under glass house conditions and in the field. The ...
