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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
