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 ...
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 ...

Sodium deficiency in sheep pastures : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Agriculture Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2002)
Sodium (Na) is not essential for plant growth however it is required by grazing ruminants. Natrophobic species are usually deficient for animal nutrition (<0.10% Na) while natrophiles have adequate Na contents except for ...
The influence of ryegrass sowing rates and nitrogen fertiliser on white clover establishment : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) pastures were sown on 19 February at four sowing rates (0, 5, 10, 20 kg/ha) with four rates of nitrogen fertiliser (0, 20, 40, 80 kgN/ha). White clover (Trifolium repens L.) was sown ...
