The effect of spring grazing management on yield, animal liveweight gain and root reserves of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.).
(Lincoln University, 2011)
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is a common pasture legume grown in New Zealand. Rotational grazing is recommended for ensuring stand production and persistence. However, during lambing set stocking ewes and lambs is the ...
New Zealand maize grain production - where is the future?
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Commerce. Kellogg Rural Leaders Programme., 2012)
The Maize grain industry in New Zealand has remained relatively static over the last 5 years in both the
human and animal food sectors.
The domestic market in New Zealand presents limited opportunities to expand in both ...
The effects of cutting time and post-cutting rainfall on perennial ryegrass seed endophyte survival and seed quality: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours
(Lincoln University, 2010)
Novel endophyte technologies are now a widely accepted part of modern pastoral agriculture within New Zealand, owing to their production of alkaloids which have been shown to significantly reduce the effects of pasture ...
Wheat yield as affected by sowing rate, irrigation, and time of white clover introduction
(Taylor & Francis, 1973)
On a fertile, moisture-retentive Wakanui silt loam Aotea wheat sown at 100 kg/ha yielded 6650 kg/ha, considerably more than when sown at 50 or 150 kg/ha. Lower yields of wheat planted at the 50 kg/ha rate were caused largely ...
An analysis of a nitrogen-induced depression of yield in irrigated 'Kopara' wheat
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1974)
Heavy applications of nitrogen fertiliser (200 kg/ha) applied in early spring to wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. 'Kopara') on a Wakanui silt loam, in which irrigation was used to maintain soil-water levels above -0.5 bar, ...
Interactions between pasture species and management and their implications for evaluating perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars in dairy systems
(Lincoln University, 2016-07-19)
An index to rank perennial ryegrass cultivars based on their relative economic benefit to pasture-based dairy systems, has been developed in New Zealand (Chapman et al., 2016; DairyNZ) in recent years. Performance values ...
Crossing the species barrier: investigating vertical transmission of a fungal endophyte from tall fescue within a novel ryegrass association
(Lincoln University, 2017-02-28)
Many Poaceae grasses form a symbiosis with Epichloë fungal endophytes. Initially a serious problem in agriculture due to their production of alkaloids toxic to livestock, endophyte strains were identified that were less ...
Autumn yield of caucasian and white clover pastures under irrigated and drought conditions : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 1998)
The autumn performance of Caucasian clover, white clover and five grass species: perennial ryegrass, cocksfoot, phalaris, tall fescue and grazing brome were examined at Lincoln University during autumn 1998, after a summer ...
The development of a lucerne growth model : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 1992)
Lucerne (Medicago sativa) is a pasture plant which has been grown for over 2000 years, but despite this fact surprisingly little is known about it's regrowth. In the seventies the popularity of luceme was extremely high ...
Growth and feed quality of five perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars under three water treatments
(Lincoln University, 2017-08-02)
Growth and feed quality of five perennial ryegrass cultivars were compared under three water treatments: non-stress (field capacity, FC), mid-stress (50% FC) and high-stress (30% FC). There were three New Zealand cultivars ...
