The effect of amidochlor and mefluidide on the development of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
A field trial was set up in spring 1986 to study the effects of the two plant growth retardants amidochlor (N-(acetoamino)methyl-2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl) and mefluidide (N(2,4-dimethyl-5-[[(trifluoromethyl) sulphonyl] ...
The Proceedings of the Lincoln College Farmers' Conference 1969
(Lincoln College (Lincoln, N.Z.)., 1969)
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 ...
Nutrient recycling using biowastes from diverse sources
(Lincoln University, 2018)
Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient in crop growth and thus widely used as an agricultural fertiliser. It cannot be substituted by another element, nor newly synthesized. Hence, global food production is ultimately dependent ...
Fertilizer and stocking rates on two King Country soils
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1973)
Parent materials such as volcanic ash and sedimentary siltstone
and sandstone form soils which differ markedly in their physical
and chemical properties. In stocking x fertilizer rate trials on
two families of soils, ...
The effects of management for aphid control on lucerne production and persistence : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of Bachelor of Agricultural Science Honours in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
In the second year of a two year grazing management trial on Wairau Lucerne, plots were grazed under a 3 or 6 weekly rotation. Half of each plot was nard grazed in June to control over wintering aphids. In the spring/autumn ...
The effect of fertilizer type and application method, seed pelleting and simulated rainfall on brassica establishment and yield: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 1993)
An experiment was conducted to determine the optimum fertilizer type for the establishment and yield of brassicas when seed was mixed with the fertilizer. Of the fertilizers commercially available, Cropmaster 20 treatments ...
Dry matter yield and tiller development of perennial ryegrass/white clover swards in response to autumn applied nitrogen : A dissertation submitted for partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours
(Lincoln University, 2010)
The timing of N application in autumn determines the pasture response. A field experiment was conducted to investigate effects of N fertiliser rate (O (N1) and 100 (N2) kg N/ha) and defoliation height (40 (Hl) and 80 (H2) ...
Metabolisable energy concentration in perennial ryegrass pastures: Multi-site analysis of effects of cultivar, nitrogen fertiliser and white clover content
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2018-11-13)
To include metabolisable energy (ME) as a nutritive value factor for ryegrasses in the Forage Value Index (FVI) requires data for New Zealand cultivars on the effects of environmental and management ...
Flowability testing for aerial lime
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, 2019)
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requires that topdressing aircraft are capable of jettisoning 80% of the aeroplane’s maximum hopper load within five seconds of the pilot initiating the jettison action. For granulated ...
Effective bout widths for uniform spread of lime from ground spreaders
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2019)
There is a strong correlation between crop yields and evenness of application of lime. Lime is the most widely used fertiliser/soil conditioner product in New Zealand, but it is not very mobile in the soil, so it is important ...
