Classifying the introduction pathways of alien species: Are we moving in the right direction?
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020)
Alien species are introduced to new regions in many different ways and for different purposes. A number of frameworks have been developed to group such pathways of introduction into discrete categories in order to improve ...
Chlorella pyrenoidosa supplementation increased the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids in the rumen fluid of cattle fed a low-quality tropical forage
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia (SBZ): Brazilian Society of Animal Science, 2020)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of algae and cottonseed meal (CSM) supplementation on the fatty acid (FA) profile in the rumen fluid (RF) of steers fed a low-quality forage. Five Bos indicus crossbred ...
The potential of culinary vegetable oils as herbicides in organic farming: The effect of oil type and repeated applications on plant growth
(Springer Verlag, 2018-03-10)
This study tested the herbicidal effects of raw and processed culinary oils (rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, flax/linseed oils) on nine plant species (poppy, white clover, alyssum, lupin, buckwheat, mustard, oats, ...
Yield of subterranean clover after post-emergence herbicide application for broadleaf weed control
(New Zealand Grassland Association (NZGA), 2020-09-09)
A field experiment was established in Lincoln, Canterbury in autumn 2018 to evaluate the effect of acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides on subterranean (sub) clover. Two herbicides, imazethapyr and flumetsulam, ...
MAcroecological Framework for Invasive Aliens (MAFIA): Disentangling large-scale context dependence in biological invasions
(Pensoft Publishers, 2020)
Macroecology is the study of patterns, and the processes that determine those patterns, in the distribution and abundance of organisms at large scales, whether they be spatial (from hundreds of kilometres to global), ...
The Christchurch Urban Design Panel: Its role and influence on residential development within central city Christchurch post-earthquake : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Planning at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2020)
During the 21st century, New Zealand has experienced increasing public concern over the quality of the design and appearance of new developments, and their effects on the urban environment. In response to this, a number ...
Dietary preference of dairy cows for perennial ryegrass cultivars growing with and without white clover
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2016)
Dietary preference of dairy cows for eight perennial ryegrass cultivars (AberMagic, Alto, Base, Bealey, Commando, Kamo, One50 and Prospect) growing with and without white clover was examined at two vegetative stages (May ...
Dry matter intake and body condition score change of dairy cows grazing fodder beet, kale and kale-oat forage systems in winter
(NZGA, 2014)
Crop dry matter (DM) yield, DM utilisation and body condition score (BCS) of dairy cows were measured over two winters on an irrigated stony, free-draining Balmoral soil for three crop grazing systems: fodder beet (FB); ...
Real time mobile based license plate recognition system with neural networks
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)
In this paper, the implementation of localizing and recognizing license plate in real time environment with a neural network using a mobile device is described. The neural networks used in this research are Convolutional ...
Does mowing before grazing increase dry matter intake and milk yield?
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2016)
Mowing pasture before allocation of herbage to dairy cows is one management strategy suggested to improve feed quality, increase herbage dry matter (DM) intake and increase milk solids yield. To test these hypotheses, ...
