Predicting the transpiration of lucerne
(Elsevier B.V. on behalf of the European Society for Agronomy, 2012-11)
Crop transpiration rate is often predicted as the minimum of the supply of water from the roots and the demand for water from the shoots. A common method for predicting transpiration demand is the transpiration efficiency ...
Increased lucerne nodulation in acid soils with Sinorhizobium meliloti and lucerne tolerant to low pH and high aluminium
(CSIRO Publishing, 2018-10)
Acidic conditions with damaging levels of available aluminium (Al3+) currently limit lucerne (Medicago sativa) production on soils in the New Zealand high country and in large areas of Australia. Increased lucerne nodulation ...
On-farm comparision of pasture production in relation to rainfall in central Otago
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2010)
Dry matter (DM) yields of unimproved resident
browntop-dominant pasture on three Central Otago
dryland farms was <1.5 t /ha/year from 2008-2010. An
intensive pasture renewal programme over >18 000
ha applied lime to increase ...
Soil pH, exchangeable aluminium and lucerne yield responses to lime in a South Island high country soil
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2010)
A 2-year field experiment was conducted on a high
country brown stony soil in the Lees Valley, North
Canterbury. Two forms of lime (‘AgLime’ and
‘Quicklime’) were applied at 4 rates (0, 2, 4 and 8 t/
ha) and plots sown ...
Lucerne dry matter and N-fixation, when sown with or without lime and inoculant
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2015-11)
This paper quantifies the effect of inoculation and lime on lucerne growth and nitrogen fixation over the establishment and following season. The field experiment at Ashley Dene, in Canterbury, had an initial soil pH of ...

Pasture and forage options for S.I. hill and high country
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Department of Agricultural Sciences, 2011-11-01)
The Lees Valley Farmer’s Group (LVFG) was formed in January 2005 to discuss agronomic issues related to the intensification of Lees Valley and similar farm types throughout the South Island. The initial project terminated ...

Dryland pasture research
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Department of Agricultural Sciences, 2012-01)
This report presents the results of dryland pastoral research at Lincoln University. It includes a practical guide to on-farm management for direct grazed lucerne stands which implements current recommendations. It also ...
