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 ...
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 ...
Endogenous gibberellin-like substances in relation to short day induced flowering in the strawberry variety "Cambridge Favourite"
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1972)
Flowering and the factors controlling flowering have intrigued scientists and laymen alike for centuries. Over the years, developments in scientific research have revealed that flowering is controlled or at least affected ...
Dry matter production and water use of lucerne and perennial ryegrass under dryland and irrigated conditions
(Lincoln University, 2013)
In dryland regions of New Zealand lucerne is sown as an alternative species to the most common pasture of perennial ryegrass and white clover. This is to maximise dry matter production and water use efficiency. This ...
Association between growth characters and suckering ability in populations of lucerne : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(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 ...
