Association between growth characters and suckering ability in populations of lucerne
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1970)
The place of lucerne (Medicago sativa) in New Zealand agriculture and the extent of its contribution to future agricultural production has been the subject of much discussion. Lynch (1967) quotes the Government Statistician ...
Dry matter production and botanical composition of multi-species pasture mixtures during the second year after establishment
(Lincoln University, 2017)
A pasture mixture experiment was conducted, growing four species; perennial ryegrass, plantain, white clover and red clover under irrigation in Canterbury, New Zealand. The experiment set out to identifty an optimal pasture ...
Growth and development of lucerne with different fall dormancy ratings
(Lincoln University, 2018)
The main aim of this research was to understand differences in the growth and development of three lucerne genotypes with different fall dormancy (FD) ratings; FD2 (dormant), FD5 (semi-dormant) and FD10 (winter-active). ...
Nitrogen in ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) : seed yield and indicators of nitrogen status
(Lincoln University, 1997)
Nitrogen dominates plant nutrition and in ryegrass seed crops the availability of nitrogen is a major determinant of seed yield, affecting all yield components. Nitrogen fertiliser is readily used but rarely efficiently. ...
Studies on shoot growth and flower initiation in apples
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
In experiments with mature apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.), cv. Splendour, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious on MM 106, trained to Lincoln canopy, the effects of proximity to the root bud position and ...
Establishment of tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis (Christ) Bisby et K. Nicholls)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
Tagasaste, a shrub legume, has the potential to provide stock feed where the growth of conventional legumes is limited. This research project was undertaken to determine the appropriate management techniques for establishing ...
Suppression of grass development by the growth retardant, mefluidide
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
The effect of the plant growth retardant, mefluidide, on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), prairie grass (Bromus cartharticus Varth.) and browntop (Agrostis tenuis Sibth) has been investigated.
Early spring applications ...
Effects of temperature stress on growth and yield of wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1968)
All plant activities take place within certain well defined conditions. For normal plant growth, certain environmental conditions such as temperature, light, moisture and mineral nutrients must be met. These requirements ...
Physiological and agronomic studies on prairie grass (Bromus catharticus)
(Canterbury Agricultural College, University of New Zealand, 1961)
In a study to assess the potentiality of a plant as an agricultural crop, the aim of the investigation is that of studying the growth of that plant in certain environments; in particular, in relation to those factors which ...
Sugar cane
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1967)
This dissertaion begins by outlining the history of the sugar cane plant and the plants genetics and cytology. It then describes botany and physiology of the plant. Propagation, fertilizers, and weed control are discussed. ...
