Pasture and forage options for store lamb and beef production from South Island hill and high country
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Department of Agricultural Sciences, 2009-04)
In 2005 the Lees Valley Farmers Group applied for a MAF Sustainable Farming Fund (SFF) Grant to investigate pasture and forage options for the intensification of South Island Hill and High Country. At the beginning of the ...
Evaluating the SIRIUS wheat crop simulation model in Canterbury : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2003)
An on-farm trial was conducted in an irrigated commercial wheat crop on a property near Dorie in the 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 seasons to validate the SIRIUS crop simulation model. Three nitrogen treatments were applied, a ...
Control of gorse (Ulex europaeus) in dryland pasture converted from Pinus radiata forest
(New Zealand Plant Protection Society, 2007-09-24)
The effect of crop sequence, pasture species mixture and nitrogen fertiliser
on gorse establishment was monitored over 23 months in land converted
from pine forest to a dryland sheep pasture. There were fewer gorse plants
in ...
The study of rural change from a social scientific perspective: a literature review and annotated bibliography
(Lincoln University. Department of Social Science, Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Sport, 2009-07)
This publication comprises a review of two decades of literature (1989-2009) on the social science of rural change. It was constructed as an aid to research on the changing nature of Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand, ...
Distinguishing among Magnolia cultivars using fluorescent Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) analysis
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of The Royal Society of New Zealand, 2001)
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to generate informative DNA fingerprints from Magnolia denudata, M. liliiflora, and putative cultivars of their hybrid cross, i.e., M. x soulangeana, M. x ...
Effects of MaxP™ endophyte in tall fescue on pasture production and sheep grazing preference, in a dryland environment
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2007)
Pasture growth, botanical composition and sheep grazing preference were measured over 20 months in tall fescue (cultivar Advance), without endophyte (Nil) or infected with AR542 (MaxPTM) endophyte, and clover pastures sown ...
Net photosynthesis rate and chlorophyll content of Caucasian and white clover leaves under different temperature regimes
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences., 2005)
Caucasian or kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum) was more productive than white clover (Trifolium repens)in New Zealand pastures. Examining the physiological basis for this difference can provide greater insight into the ...
The location of deterioration within garden pea (Pisum sativum) cotyledons is associated with the timing of exposure to high temperature
(2007-05-07)
Plants of two garden pea cultivars were exposed to high temperature (30/25°(; day/night; 12h each) for 4 days at 5 stages during seed development and maturation to determine the effect of high temperature on seed quality ...
A comparison of establishment methods of permanent pasture into an undeveloped depleted tussock grassland : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours, Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2007)
This research compared pasture establishment, with or without cultivation, with two drill types, Cross Slot or triple disc and with 0, 2 or 6 t ha ⁻¹ of lime in an herbicided, undeveloped depleted tussock grassland, at ...
Cardinal temperatures and thermal time requirements for germination of annual and perennial temperate pasture species
(The Agronomy Society of New Zealand, 2009)
Cardinal temperatures (base (Tb), optimum (To) and maximum (Tm)) and thermal time (Tt) requirements for germination of 21 temperate annual and perennial grass, legume and weed species were calculated from incubator ...
