Understanding growth and development of lucerne crops (Medicago sativa L.) with contrasting levels of perennial reserves
(Lincoln University, 2006)
This research examined seasonal patterns of growth and development of lucerne crops grown with different levels of crown and taproot reserves in a cool temperate environment. The approach required derivation of explanatory ...
An integrated approach to inflow forecasting for reservoir management: The upper Waitaki
