The vascular system of the spikelet in wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(Oxford University Press, 1972-09-01)
The lower three florets in a spikelet of wheat cv. Aotea were found to be supplied by the principal vascular bundles of the rachilla, while the system of more distal florets consisted of subvascular elements derived from ...
Effects of irrigation and fertiliser on the yields of 'Arawa', 'Aotea', and 'Karamu' wheats
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1974)
Grain yields of 'Aotea', 'Arawa', and 'Karamu' wheats were depressed by irrigation during early stages of reproductive development which reduced the number of grains per spikelet and slowed the rate of reproductive ...
Response of irrigated lucerne to defoliation and nitrogen fertiliser
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1974)
A 3-year-old stand of lucerne (Medicago media Per.) cv. 'Wairau' was spray irrigated and subjected to three defoliation frequencies from spring to autumn, after which all plots received a common management. Nitrogen ...
A study of floret development in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Oxford University Press, 1973-09-01)
Plants of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Aotea were grown at high or low nitrogen levels and in a natural photoperiod or continuous light. Starting 17-21 days from the double-ridge stage, eight plants from each treatment ...
A study of New Zealand wheats. IV. Effects of extreme temperature at different stages of development
(Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand, 1970-11)
At different stages of development single-tillered plants of Hilgendorf 61 wheat growing in a glasshouse were subjected for 3 hr to -1°, -2°, +38°, or +40.5° c in the dark, preceded by a 2-day conditioning period. Applied ...
Studies of nutrient requirements of lucerne on acid soils : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
This work describes two pot trials conducted under glasshouse conditions on Omahau (pH 5.6), Grampians (pli 5.6) and Wolds (pH 6.2) soil from the McKenzie Country, South Island, New Zealand, to investigate the adaptability ...
