Effect on quality characteristics of tomatoes grown under well-watered and drought stress conditions

Klunklin, Warinporn; Savage, Geoffrey P. (MDPI, 2017-07-25)

Tomatoes are one of the most nutritionally and economically important crops in New Zealand and around the world. Tomatoes require large amounts of water to grow well and are adversely affected by drought stress. However, ...
Identification of pasture mixtures that maximise dry matter yield

Black, Alistair; Anderson, S.; Dalgety, S. K. (New Zealand Grassland Association, 2017)

A mixture experiment was conducted to identify an optimal pasture seed mixture that maximised dry matter (DM) yield under irrigated, sheep-grazed conditions inmid-Canterbury, New Zealand. Nineteen seed mixtures were created ...
Exclusion zones for variable rate nitrogen fertilisation in grazed dairy pasture systems in New Zealand

Ekanayake, Dinanjana; Owens, Jennifer; Hodge, Simon; Werner, Armin; Threthewey, J.; Roten, Rory; Westerschulte, M.; Belin, S.; Cameron, Keith C. (Zenodo, )

To assess the variability of total soil nitrogen (TN) on grazed and irrigated pastures, TN was quantified from spatially distinct “areas” within the paddock (irrigated and non-irrigated areas, around the gates, and around ...
Effect of different forms of farm dairy effluent, with and without animal urine, on nitrification, denitrification and N₂O emissions

Chen, Siyu (Lincoln University, 2018-03-05)

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is one of the most important greenhouse gases. Agricultural soils are the largest source of N₂O emissions. In New Zealand, the application of farm dairy effluent (FDE) on pasture soils is the third ...
The influence of previous reproduction on subsequent fertility in multiparous ewes

Scobie, D. R.; O'Connell, D.; Noble, A.; Greer, Andrew W. (2016)

Adult ewes often lose live weight while lactating, but should regain it prior to the following mating if pasture availability or sheep numbers are managed judiciously. Data from a self-replacing flock of Wiltshire ewes ...
