Simulation-based design of water harvesting schemes for irrigation
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1981)
For large areas of New Zealand that suffer from agricultural drought, the only practicable way of providing irrigation is through the use of water harvesting schemes that divert winter flood water in nearby streams into ...
Agricultural waste manual
(Lincoln College. NZAEI., 1984-12)
Agricultural waste management is a rapidly changing technology. It is
subject to government regulation and sensitive to population growth patterns,
community attitudes and land use changes. It is influenced by
variables ...
An evaluation of irrigation-yield repsonse models for use with wheat & barley in Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
This study evaluated the ability of nine models to describe and
predict the response of grain yield to flood irrigation of wheat and
barley crops. The models may be divided into four groups:
1). Input-Output models
2). ...
The engineering abilities needed by the successful New Zealand orchardist in the 1990s: A basis for curriculum development
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
This study aimed to establish statements of the engineering abilities requires by New Zealand orchardists in the 1990s as a basis for theory-informed curriculum development. Engineering inputs on orchards are significant ...
An investigation into the drying of oilseeds using ambient air and solar energy
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
The generalized drying equation is developed by studying the characteristics of rapeseed for drying air temperature throughout a range of 30-60° C, an airflow range of 0.21 to 0.53 m³(s m²)⁻¹ and an initial moisture content ...
