• Liveweight production of ewes and lambs grazing a dryland lucerne monoculture with or without barley grain supplementation 

  Moot, Derrick J.; Mills, Annamaria; Roux, M. M.; Smith, Malcolm C. (New Zealand Grassland Association, 2016)

  In 2013/2014 (Year 1) and 2014/2015 (Year 2) at Ashley Dene, Canterbury, New Zealand, sheep grazing dryland lucerne monocultures were supplemented with barley grain. In neither year did barley grain supplementation improve ...
• Optimal grazing management to achieve high yields and utilisation of dryland lucerne 

  Moot, Derrick J.; Bennett, S. M.; Mills, Annamaria; Smith, Malcolm C. (NZ Grassland Association, 2016)

  The pre- and post-grazing dry matter yields from six individual paddocks in a grazed lucerne rotation were compared at Ashley Dene, Lincoln University, over 5 years. The mean annual yield was ~12 000 kg DM/ha and unaffected ...
• Effects of sugar substitution with "stevianna" on the sensory characteristics of muffins 

  Gao, Jingrong; Brennan, Margaret A.; Mason, Susan L.; Brennan, Charles S. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation and Wiley Periodicals, 2017)

  Sugar is a main ingredient of muffins and other baked products, so removal or reduction of sucrose negatively affects product appearance, texture, and mouthfeel. The aim of this study was to investigate the colour, textural ...
• Optical sensors for variable rate nitrogen application in dairy pastures 

  Wigley, Kathryn; Owens, Jennifer; Trethewey, Jason A. K.; Ekanayake, Dinanjana; Roten, Rory; Werner, Armin (New Zealand Grassland Association, 2017)

  Reducing the amount of nitrogen (N) fertiliser applied to dairy pastures down to agronomically optimised levels would have positive economic and environmental results. The ability of commercially available optical sensors ...
• Managing fire and biodiversity in the wildland-urban interface: A role for green firebreaks 

  Curran, Timothy J.; Perry, G. L. W.; Wyse, Sarah . V.; Alam, Md (MDPI, 2018-06)

  In the wildland-urban interface, the imperative is often to protect life and property from destructive fires, while also conserving biodiversity. One potential tool for achieving this goal is the use of green firebreaks: ...
