Influence of root exudates on soil microbial diversity and activity
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Interactions between plant roots and soil microorganisms in the rhizosphere are critical for plant growth. However, understanding of precisely how root exudates influence the diversity and activity of rhizosphere microorganisms ...
Ascochyta blight resistance in lentils: Genetics and supporting techniques for breeding
(Lincoln University, 2001)
To promote breeding for Ascochyta blight in lentil, the genetics of resistance to lentil Ascochyta blight was investigated. In addition, some techniques needed to support the genetic research and breeding were developed ...
Disease mitigation and pathogenic control in German and common wasps, Vespula germanica and V. vulgaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
(Lincoln University, 2002)
Vespula germanica (F.) (German wasp) and V. vulgaris (L.) (common wasp) are major pests in New Zealand. They damage crops, have a significant impact on the biodiversity of native ecosystems and present a significant health ...
Olive leaf spot: epidemiology and control
(Lincoln University, 2006)
The overall goal of this research was to improve the understanding of the environmental factors affecting development of olive leaf spot (OLS) in New Zealand olive groves and to develop strategies for the disease management. ...
Further sensitivity analysis of simple evolving connectionist systems applied to the Lincoln aphid data set
(Bio-Protection & Ecology Division, 2007)
This report presents two further experiments over the Aphid data set. The first is a
more detailed investigation of the sensitivity of Simple Evolving Connectionist System (SECoS) networks to the exclusion of various ...
