Novel markers for drought resistance in white clover
(Lincoln University, 2011)
Introduction. White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is an out-crossing allotetraploid (2n=4x=32) that acts like a diploid, also called amphidiploid. White clover is a forage crop with a high level of genetic heterogeneity, ...
Grazing management and pasture production of tall fescue-legume mixtures in dryland pastures
(Lincoln University, 2013)
Pasture production and composition and liveweight gain of sheep grazing tall fescue-clover and perennial ryegrass-clover dryland pastures at Lincoln, Canterbury was examined in four experiments from May 2008 to December ...
Autumn nitrogen effects on perrenial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) pastures in dryland Canterbury.
(Lincoln University, 2012)
This research examined the effects of autumn nitrogen application at five rates (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 kg N/ha) on dry matter production and the nutritive value of cocksfoot and perennial ryegrass, and the subterranean ...
Dry matter production of Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) under rotational grazing at Ashley Dene
(Lincoln University, 2012)
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is a key legume for dryland farming systems in New Zealand. This experiment compared dry matter production of seven lucerne cultivars across six paddocks in a rotationally grazed system. ...
Early development characteristics of different clover species during establishment
(Lincoln University, 2012)
Maximizing the proportion of legumes in dryland pasture swards is important to provide N to the soil through nitrogen fixation and for large animal live weight gains. The establishment and early seedling characteristics ...
Liming effects on legume production and phosphorus availability in acid South Island hill and high country soils : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2019)
There is large potential for widespread development and increased production in South Island hill and high country by increasing legume production. Despite regular past applications of superphosphate fertiliser, current ...
Dry matter production and weed suppression of multi-species pasture mixtures in the first year of growth
(Lincoln University, 2016-11-14)
Perennial ryegrass, plantain, white clover and red clover were grown in monocultures and up to four- species mixtures in Canterbury, New Zealand. The dry matter production and weed content for the first year of growth ...
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) establishment after inoculation with different carriers of Ensifer meliloti on five sowing dates
(Lincoln University, 2011)
The effect of sowing date (21/10/10, 9/11/10, 8/12/10, 13/01/11 and 3/02/11) and seed inoculant (ALOSCA®, coated and peat seed) on the establishment and growth of seedling and regrowth ‘Stamina 5’ lucerne (Medicago sativa ...
The effect of spring grazing management on yield, animal liveweight gain and root reserves of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.).
(Lincoln University, 2011)
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is a common pasture legume grown in New Zealand. Rotational grazing is recommended for ensuring stand production and persistence. However, during lambing set stocking ewes and lambs is the ...
New Zealand maize grain production - where is the future?
(Lincoln University. Faculty of Commerce. Kellogg Rural Leaders Programme., 2012)
The Maize grain industry in New Zealand has remained relatively static over the last 5 years in both the
human and animal food sectors.
The domestic market in New Zealand presents limited opportunities to expand in both ...
