The Proceedings of the Lincoln College Farmers' Conference Cumulative Index Volumes 1-20 (1951-1970)
(Lincoln College (Lincoln, N.Z.)., 1971)
The Lincoln College Farmers’ Conference was an annual event held over a period of thirty six years from 1951 to 1986. It was a forum for farmers with participation in the early years by district nomination. The strength ...
A study of New Zealand wheats. IV. Effects of extreme temperature at different stages of development
(Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand, 1970-11)
At different stages of development single-tillered plants of Hilgendorf 61 wheat growing in a glasshouse were subjected for 3 hr to -1°, -2°, +38°, or +40.5° c in the dark, preceded by a 2-day conditioning period. Applied ...
Progress in pasture plant physiology
(The New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 1967)
Some major achievements of pasture plant physiology are reviewed. Detailed study of growth patterns has provided an understanding of how grasses grow and how they persist in a grazed sward. Genetic variation for physiological ...
Phosphorus response and efficiency of 12 novel dryland legume species on an acid high country soil
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, 2012-02)
High country soils are typically acidic and have low fertility compared with intensive high fertility low land systems. Pasture legumes commonly used in New Zealand perform poorly in these environments. The optimum soil P ...
Urine patch area coverage of an intensively stocked dairy pasture
(International Union of Soil Science, 2010-08)
The urine patch of the grazing cow has been identified as the key source of N loss from pasture-based dairy
systems. Although critical to N modelling, quantitative data on the annual area coverage of urine patches in
pastures ...
Urine patch area coverage of an intensively stocked dairy pasture
(Lincoln University., 2010-08)
The objective of this study was to develop a new method to quantify seasonal and annual urine patch area coverage under an intensive dairy farming system.
Tolerance of newly sown cocksfoot-clover pastures to the herbicide imazethapyr
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2017)
In New Zealand, subterranean clover is recommended as a companion legume in mixed swards, particularly in dryland cocksfoot-based pastures. However, establishment of cocksfoot is slower than perennial ryegrass and therefore ...
The relationship between applied nitrogen, nitrogen concentration in herbage and seed yield in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). I. Cv. Grasslands Nui at five sites around the globe
(New Zealand Seed Technology Institute on behalf of the International Herbage Seed Group, 1998)
Potential environmental problems following the use of applied nitrogen (N) in cropping have resulted in research on indicators which attempt to ensure that the amount of N applied matches the specific requirements for the ...
Seed development of arrowleaf, balansa, gland and Persian clover
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2015)
The development process from floral bud formation to seed maturity of four top flowering annual clovers was quantified from a field experiment across 10 sowing dates at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand.
For each ...
Productivity and composition of perennial lupin pastures in response to six growing rates, lime application and lupin type at Glenmore Station, Lake Tekapo
(NZGA, 2016)
This study aims to identify the sowing rate necessary to produce lupin dominant and productive pastures in the New Zealand high country under low-moderate fertility, and a regime of late spring/early summer grazing. Blue ...
