Development of mechanistic energy balance models for grassland
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Grasslands are responsible for a significant percentage of the world's food supplies and, due to their large geographical extent, have an important influence on global climate. Major determinants of grassland productivity ...
Studies on the field establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus x Lupinus arboreus).
(Lincoln University, 1990)
Three field experiments in 1988 and 1989 evaluated the agronomic factors affecting the emergence and establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus X L. arboreus). The first experiment in 1988 looked at the combined ...

(Lincoln University, 1993)
The effects of sowing depth and nitrogen (N) on emergence and establishment of prairie grass (Bromus willdenowii Kunth., mean seed weight 12.0 mg); upland brome (Bromus sitchensis L., 6.7 mg); annual ryegrass Lolium ...
The influence of mineral nutrition of pasture grasses on the grazing preference by sheep
(Lincoln University, 1993)
This investigation on grazing preference of sheep used two experimental methods; rate of intake by penned sheep and field grazing observations.
Ewe hoggets were fed fresh cut leaf to examine the rate of intake of six ...
