Italian ryegrass swards reduce N leaching via greater N uptake and lower drainage over perennial ryegrass cultivars varying in cool season growth rates
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2018-02-04)
Pasture mitigation strategies are needed to reduce the negative effects of nitrate (NO₃⁻) leaching from intensive pastoral livestock production systems. We explored the capability of pasture grasses with different cool ...
Potential inhibition of urine patch nitrous oxide emissions by Plantago lanceolata and its metabolite aucubin
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2017-12-12)
Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), a forage used in grazed pastures, contains active secondary metabolites that could potentially inhibit nitrification, a key step in nitrous oxide (N₂O) production from grazing ruminant ...
Cattle diet and winter plant growth effects on nitrogen losses from cattle urine patches
(Springer Nature, 2020-04-01)
Nitrogen (N) losses from agricultural land is a major environmental concern, as N leaching can cause eutrophication and nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a greenhouse gas. A lysimeter experiment was undertaken to investigate the ...
Phosphorus exchangeability and leaching losses from two grassland soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2002)
Although phosphate phosphorus (P) is strongly sorbed in many soils, it may be quickly transported through the soil by preferential flow. Under flood irrigation, preferential flow is especially pronounced and associated ...
Using nitrogen : what is best practice?
(South Island Dairy Event (SIDE), 2005-06)
Feed shortages occur in spring because the rate of pasture growth is below the cow
demand. Spring pasture growth rate is slow in the South Island because the soil
temperature is low and the rate of nitrogen (N) supply from ...
Improved nitrogen management with eco-n nitrification inhibitor : an example of "growing for good"
(New Zealand Large Herds Association, 2005-04)
The recent report by the New Zealand Parliamentary Commissioner for the
Environment, called "Growing for Good", highlighted the adverse impacts that
nitrate leaching can have on water quality. It called for a 'redesigning ...
Reducing nitrate leaching losses from a Taupo pumice soil using a nitrification inhibitor eco-n
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2007-11)
The decline in water quality in Lake Taupo has been attributed to nitrogen (N) leaching from surrounding land areas. Pastoral agriculture has been identified as a significant contributor to this N transfer to the lake ...
Effect of soil moisture status and animal treading on N₂O emissions and the effectiveness of a nitrification inhibitor mitigation technology
(New South Wales Department of Primary Industry, 2013-09)
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent greenhouse gas with a long term global warming potential about 298 times that of carbon dioxide (CO₂). In grazed grassland, most of the N₂O is emitted from nitrogen (N) excreted by the grazing ...
Urine patch area coverage of an intensively stocked dairy pasture
(Lincoln University., 2010-08)
The objective of this study was to develop a new method to quantify seasonal and annual urine patch area coverage under an intensive dairy farming system.
Fungal inoculum properties : Extracellular enzyme expression and pentachlorophenol removal by New Zealand Trametes species in contaminated field soils
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2007)
This study was conducted to improve the ability of indigenous New Zealand white-rot fungi to remove pentachlorophenol (PCP) from contaminated field soil. The effects of different bioaugmentation conditions on PCP removal ...
