The growth of grasses and legumes on a sequence of acid soils as affected by liming and phosphate fertiliser
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1974)
The causes of differential growth of lucerne, lotus, ryegrass and brown top on a range of three acid soils were investigated by means of pot trials carried out in the glasshouse.
Of the four species, lucerne was affected ...
Climatic and aspect influences on pasture production in New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
In view of the scarcity of published information on pasture production and climate relationships in New Zealand and especially such relationships in hill country these factors were studied at 23 lowland sites throughout ...
Fertilizer and stocking rates on two King Country soils
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1973)
Parent materials such as volcanic ash and sedimentary siltstone
and sandstone form soils which differ markedly in their physical
and chemical properties. In stocking x fertilizer rate trials on
two families of soils, ...
Legumes and grasses for dry North Canterbury hill country
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1978)
Field experiments have been conducted for 6 years at Hunua in
North Canterbury to compare a range of grass and legume cultivars
for sunny aspects of dry hill country. The most suitable legumes
were Woogenellup subterranean ...
Effects of sunny and shady aspect on pasture yield, digestibility and sheep performance in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1976)
Annual pasture dry matter (DM) production from improved brown-top-dominant hill pastures varied from 3.5 to 7.4 t DM/ha over
three years. A south aspect produced on average 14% more dry
matter than a north aspect; both ...
Simulated grazing 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, 1972)
Over recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the area of lucerne grown in New Zealand, particularly that used for grazing. The total for conservation and grazing increased from 19,000 ha in 1947 to about ...
Edaphic adaptation in species of Chionochloa
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1971)
Species of Chionochloa are tall tussock grasses which dominate the mountain vegetation in both islands of New Zealand. In the South Island they cover more than ten million acres of high country above about 600 metres and ...
Oversowing grasses on sunny and shady faces
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1972)
Eight grasses were oversown on steep north and south aspects at
Hunua, North Canterbury, either initially with clovers or three
years after oversowing clovers. On the north aspect, cocksfoot
established and persisted ...
Effect of cool season grazing on lucerne production and aphid populations
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1979)
In a P-year Wairau lucerne trial, plots were grazed on a 3- or 6-
weekly rotation; Half of each plot was hard grazed in June to control
overwintering aphids. In the second year a spring/autumn spraying
was applied.
June ...
The influence of herbage utilization on pasture production and animal performance
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1975)
An attempt is made to establish a relationship between herbage
utilization, pasture production, and animal performance per unit
area. When pastures are rotationally grazed, it appears that the
highest pasture yield and ...
