The effects of foliar diseases and irrigation on root development, yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Studies were conducted on three field trials of wheat cv. Kopara to investigate the lack of compensation by later determined components of yield because of early disease constraints. The investigation was based on the ...
A study of grain filling in barley
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Two field experiments were conducted during the years 1980-81 and 1981-82 to investigate the effect of carpel weight at anthesis on potential grain weight of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). In the first experiment three high ...
Phosphorus losses through transfer, soil erosion and runoff : processes and implications
(Lincoln College and University of Canterbury. Centre for Resource Management., 1985-12)
Phosphate rock is a strategic material upon which pastoral agriculture
and all New Zealanders depend. Phosphate fertilizer has no close
substitute, and is, therefore an important limiting factor to agricultural
productivity. ...
Extractable soil nitrogen following clear-cutting and burning in a beech forest
(Soil Science Society of America, 1985-11)
Nitrogen (N) mineralization was monitored in the humus layer and soil in an undisturbed and harvested beech (Nothofagus) spp. forest in the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. To assess the effects of different ...
North Island maize production, 1983-84
(Lincoln College. Agricultural and Economics Research Unit., 1985-05)
Maize is used primarily for domestic requirements in compound
stock food, starch, distilling, breakfast foods, with limited amounts
exported. A small area of maize is used as a fodder crop (3813 ha in
1982) for cattle ...
A comparison of Maori and Pakeha attitudes to land
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury., 1985)
New Zealand is becoming increasingly
marked by disputes over land use; the
Motunui outfall, the Clyde dam,
Manakau Harbour and the Waimairi
landfill, are all disputes over what is
the most appropriate use of land.
These ...
The development of a sequential sampling plan for management of stripe rust (Puccina striiformis West.) in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis West., was studied in three seasons between 1981 and 1984, on the susceptible wheat cv. Rongotea. A sample unit of the top three leaves on a W-shaped sample pattern provided the ...
The Christchurch urban environment survey
(Lincoln College. Department of Agricultural Economics and Marketing, 1985-08)
This report aims to provide the Christchurch Civic Pride Organization with a base set of information to enable planning
and co-ordination of its future activities. The report
describes residents' attitudes to city ...
Studies on the growth and compositional development of antlers in red deer (Cervus elaphus)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
The experiments described in this thesis investigated nutritional
and physiological aspects of antler growth in red deer stags. The
initial experiment (Section 3) examined the effects of winter nutrition
on subsequent ...
Environmental control of tillering and yield of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Four experiments were conducted in controlled and field environments from 1982 to 1984 to establish relationships between dry matter growth rate and tillering, yield components and grain yield of wheat.
In the first ...
