Simulated grazing of lucerne: a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1972)
Over recent years, there has been a considerable increase in the area of lucerne grown in New Zealand, particularly that used for grazing. The total for conservation and grazing increased from 19,000 ha in 1947 to about ...
Effect of cool season grazing on lucerne production and aphid populations
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1979)
In a P-year Wairau lucerne trial, plots were grazed on a 3- or 6-
weekly rotation; Half of each plot was hard grazed in June to control
overwintering aphids. In the second year a spring/autumn spraying
was applied.
June ...
Protein and carbohydrate composition of lucerne grown in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1970)
Carbohydrate fractions and total nitrogen were measured in
leaves and stems of Wairau lucerne grown in Canterbury.
Leaves had lower levels of total soluble carbohydrate (3-5%),
cellulose (8-10%) and lignin (2-4%), and ...
Growth of lucerne following defoliation
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1970)
In a simulated sward of Wairau lucerne cut at an immature stage
of growth to leave a stubble of 10-11 cm, removal of all or
one-half the residual leaf area resulted in an initial decline
of root weight and low or negative ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
