Lime, phosphorus and sulphur response of French serradella (Ornithopus sativus) grown in an acid upland soil

Moir, James L.; Schwass, M. J.; Moot, Derrick J. (International Scientific Publications, 2014-06-01)

Soil acidity severely restricts legume persistence and growth in grazed upland agriculture in New Zealand. An alternative and potentially acid tolerant forage legume, French serradella (Ornithopus sativus), was examined ...

Integrating lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) into a high country merino system

Anderson, D.; Anderson, L.; Moot, Derrick J.; Ogle, G. (NZ Grasslands Association, 2014)

Farm systems in the dry sub-humid region of the Upper Waitaki predominantly graze merino ewes on extensive oversown and topdressed hill and high country. Smaller areas of flatter land are used to conserve winter forage ...

Nitrogen yields from sown pasture components in cocksfoot based pastures in a temperate environment

Mills, Annamaria; Moot, Derrick J. (Agropolis International Publications, Montpellier., 2010-09)

Cocksfoot (orchardgrass; Dactylis glomerata L.) is a persistent pasture grass in temperate dryland pastoral farming systems. Yield is strongly reliant on nitrogen (N) availability either from inorganic fertilisers of ...

Forage responses to lime and nitrogen fertiliser on land converted from pine forest to dryland pasture in Canterbury

Condron, Leo M.; Moot, Derrick J.; Marshall, A.; Edwards, Grant (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)

A field trial was established to quantify the impacts of lime (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 t/ha) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 kg N/ha/year) addition on the dry matter (DM) production of a crop sequence of ...

Potential yield of cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) monocultures in response to irrigation and nitrogen

Mills, Annamaria; Moot, Derrick J.; Lucas, Richard J.; Jamieson, P.; McKenzie, Bruce A. (Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2005)

This research quantified the response of pure cocksfoot pasture to irrigation and nitrogen.

Adapting farm systems to a drier future

Avery, D.; Avery, F.; Ogle, G.; Wills, B.; Moot, Derrick J. (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)

In the Starborough-Flaxbourne area the local farming community, alarmed at the increasing hill slope erosion, set up a soil conservation group. Accelerated erosion was a symptom of the past 12 years of below average rainfall. ...

Lucerne taproot biomass affected early-spring canopy expansion

Teixeira, E.; Moot, Derrick J.; Fletcher, A.

Sub clover, cocksfoot and lucerne combine to improve dryland stock production

Brown, H.; Moot, Derrick J.; Lucas, D.; Smith, Malcolm . C. (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2006)

The temporal (seasonal) pattern of dryland pasture and stock production from four cocksfoot based pastures (mixed with balansa, Caucasian, subterranean or white clover), a ryegrass/white clover pasture and a pure lucerne crop ...

Yield and N concentration of ‘stay-green’ maize hybrids under different N fertilizer regimes

Kosgey, James R.; Moot, Derrick J.; McKenzie, Bruce A.; Fletcher, A. (Lincoln University., 2010)

'Stay-green’ (Sgr) maize cultivars have been selected to maintain a high green leaf area during the post silking development phase. Consequently they sustain higher photosynthetic activity than other cultivars at a time ...

Cocksfoot and lucerne productivity in a Pinus radiata silvopastoral system: a grazed comparison

Peri, P.; Varella, A.; Lucas, Richard J.; Moot, Derrick J. (New Zealand Grassland Association., 2001)

Plant and animal production from cocksfoot pasture and lucerne under 10–11 year-old radiata pine trees (200 stems/ha) and from adjacent open pastures (without trees) were measured from the Lincoln University Silvopastoral ...
