Net photosynthesis rate and chlorophyll content of Caucasian and white clover leaves under different temperature regimes
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences., 2005)
Caucasian or kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum) was more productive than white clover (Trifolium repens)in New Zealand pastures. Examining the physiological basis for this difference can provide greater insight into the ...
Growth and development of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crops after different cool season storage
(Lincoln University, 2015)
Growth and development of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crops after different cool season storage. Tuber yield variation has been attributed to seed potato physiological age in numerous studies on potato. Seed potato ...
Strategies to improve sheep liveweight gains and dry matter production of dryland tall fescue/clover pastures in Canterbury
(Lincoln University, 2014)
This study examined ways to improve sheep liveweight gains and dry matter production on dryland Canterbury farms using tall fescue/clover pastures. There were four pasture mixes sown in 2008 at Lincoln University. Each ...
The effect of pre-mowing pasture on milk, pasture, and nitrogen partitioning of dairy cows in the autumn
(Lincoln University, 2014)
The effect of pre mowing on pastures of high or low mass was investigated to determine whether herbage quality, intake, milk yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of dairy cows could be increased. The experiment was ...
Effects of fertiliser and grazing on a pasture species mixture in high country
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1987)
The effect of 30 treatments (5 fertiliser rates x 3 stocking densities x 2 grazing methods) on
an undeveloped tussock/hawkweed high country grassland site, sown with 12 legumes and 12
grasses and herbs, is reported.
The ...
Trace element problems in the Wairarapa
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1969)
The purpose of this paper is to outline briefly the problems
involving trace elements and to locate broadly the areas concerned
within the district. Several major elements will also be
discussed.
The problems appear ...
How good is Tama ryegrass?
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1978)
‘GRASSLANDS TAMA’ Westerwolds ryegrass (Lolium multijlorum
Lam.) is a tetraploid cultivar of an extreme annual form of Italian
ryegrass, bred in New Zealand and released into certification in
1967 (Barclay and Vartha, ...
The influence of herbage utilization on pasture production and animal performance
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1975)
An attempt is made to establish a relationship between herbage
utilization, pasture production, and animal performance per unit
area. When pastures are rotationally grazed, it appears that the
highest pasture yield and ...
Growth of lucerne following defoliation
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1970)
In a simulated sward of Wairau lucerne cut at an immature stage
of growth to leave a stubble of 10-11 cm, removal of all or
one-half the residual leaf area resulted in an initial decline
of root weight and low or negative ...
Simulated grazing of lucerne
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1972)
Over recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the area of lucerne grown in New Zealand, particularly that used for grazing. The total for conservation and grazing increased from 19,000 ha in 1947 to about ...
