Winter, spring, and summer harvest management effects on the cut yield of dry matter and protein in irrigated Wairau lucerne
(Lincoln University, 1991)
A single season trial was carried out at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand, on a Wakanui silt loam, with cv "Wairau" lucerne under irrigation. Three management practices were examined in their various combinations: ...
Real-time control of the greenhouse environment by computer modelling : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 1991)
The energy balance for a greenhouse canopy is complicated, since the transfer of energy cannot be assumed to be taking place between the canopy and a homogeneous air layer. Also the presence of a heating system is an ...
