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 ...
Relationship between rainfall and sheep farm productivity : case studies in a variable environment
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Relationships between quantity of rainfall, reproductive and wool performance were examined for at least the last decade on four properties situated in the East Coast dryland environment. Results from all properties varied. ...

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 ...
Identifying acceptable vegetation change in high country landscapes
(Lincoln University, 1994)
The study sought to develop a method for identifying areas of agreement among stakeholders as to acceptable and unacceptable vegetation change in the high country.

Comparison of pasture establishment from a conventional disc drill and a prototype strip seeder drill
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1991)
Establishment of grasses and legumes drilled in
spring with a prototype strip seeder drill or a

Effect of pasture species on internal parasites of lambs
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1996)
Increasing resistance of gastro-intestinal nematode
parasites to anthelmintics and consumer resistance
to the possibility of residues in animal products
have prompted research on the effect of pasture
species on nematodes ...
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 ...
