Inhibition of barley beta-amylase : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1971)
Starch, quantitatively the most important cereal reserve, accounts for 63-65% of the dry weight in barley and is hydrolysed on germination, along with other endosperm reserves, by the amylases. The production of α-amylase ...
The Proceedings of the Lincoln College Farmers' Conference Cumulative Index Volumes 1-20 (1951-1970)
(Lincoln College (Lincoln, N.Z.)., 1971)
The Lincoln College Farmers’ Conference was an annual event held over a period of thirty six years from 1951 to 1986. It was a forum for farmers with participation in the early years by district nomination. The strength ...
Effects of sowing rate, irrigation, and nitrogen on the components of yield of spring-sown semidwarf and standard New Zealand wheats
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1975)
'Karamu', a Mexican semidwarf wheat, outyielded 'Aotea' and 'Arawa' by an average of 20% when spring sown because of better grain set per spikelet and by the formation of more spikelets per ear. Irrigation raised grain ...
Pattern and control of distribution of ¹⁴C-assimilates in reproductive plants of Lolium multiflorum Lam. var. Westerwoldicum
(Oxford University Press, 1975-07-01)
The distribution of ¹⁴C-assimilates was examined in reproductive plants of Lolium multiflorum Lam. var. Westerwoldicum (cv. Tama) from which all emerged tillers had been removed, leaving the main tiller with two expanding ...
Levels of water-soluble carbohydrate in the pre-anthesis ear of wheat, and grain set per spikelet
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1975)
Low levels of water-soluble carbohydrates in wheat ears before emergence were associated with poor grain set per spikelet when seeding rates were approximately twice conventional ones. Grain set and grain filling in 'Arawa' ...
Crown development of two diverse genotypes of lucerne
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1977)
Crown development of 'Moapa' (Medicago sativa L.) and 'College Glutinosa' (M. media Per.) lucernes was examined under simulated sward conditions. The crown included all shoots originating from nodes less than 6 mm apart ...
Development and yield components of high-yielding wheat crops
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1977)
In a field experiment, 'Arawa' wheat outyielded 'Aotea' by 10% through the production of a higher grain yield per ear. Irrigation had no effect on grain yield because of plant uptake of subsoil moisture. Nitrogen increased ...
An analysis of a wheat yield depression caused by high sowing rate with reference to the pattern of grain set within the ear
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1975)
Grain set in spikelets of ears was reduced in spring-sown wheat established at high sowing rate (500 viable seeds/m²) compared with wheat planted at normal rates (250 seeds/m²), the reduction being greatest in spikelets ...
A comparison of the pattern of grain set in 'Aotea' and 'Karamu' wheat
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1977)
The pattern of grain set and grain size distribution within mainstem ears of a standard New Zealand cultivar 'Aotea' was compared with that in a Norin 10 derivative 'Karamu' when both were spring sown. Karamu produced more ...
The effects of management for aphid control on lucerne production and persistence : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of Bachelor of Agricultural Science Honours in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
In the second year of a two year grazing management trial on Wairau Lucerne, plots were grazed under a 3 or 6 weekly rotation. Half of each plot was nard grazed in June to control over wintering aphids. In the spring/autumn ...
