Influence of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and lime on growth and flowering of potted Cyclamen
(The International Plant Propagators' Society., 1983)
The effects of five levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P). potassium (K), and lime on potted cyclamen (Cyclamen persicum) grown in peat/sand, 1:1 vIv were studied. Nitrogen strongly influenced most aspects of growth and ...
Effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and B-Nine on the growth of Brompton stocks (Matthiola incana)
(The International Plant Propagators' Society., 1981)
The effects of five levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) and B-Nine (B9) on Brompton stocks (Matthiola incana) grown in peat/sand 1:1 (V.V.) were studied. Nitrogen strongly promoted growth which was ...
Research on the nutrition of container-grown Proteaceae plants and other nursery stock
(The International Plant Propagators' Society., 1974)
The nutrition of six species of plants was examined using peat:perlite (1:1) mixes and slow-release fertilisers in factorial experiments. Most
plants responded strongly to nitrogen while there was little response to ...
Some impressions of British farming
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1960)
My main impression from a visit to Britain in 1960 is that British
farming is acquiring a “new look”. This new look is not universal
and does not apply to a large number of small, poor farms, but
the upper strata of ...
Clovers in Canterbury pastures
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1936)
Cropping and cultivation under warm and moist conditions leads to a
rapid depletion of the organic matter in the soil. In the cropping-areas
of Canterbury the depletion of organic matter is of major importance,
often ...
Extractable soil nitrogen following clear-cutting and burning in a beech forest
(Soil Science Society of America, 1985-11)
Nitrogen (N) mineralization was monitored in the humus layer and soil in an undisturbed and harvested beech (Nothofagus) spp. forest in the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. To assess the effects of different ...
Variation in oil, nitrogen and methionine level in Lupinus mutabilis
(International Lupin Association, 1988-07)
Seed of 61 introduced genotypes of Lupinus mutabilis was screened for nitrogen, methionine and oil. There was marked variation among the characteristics in the genotypes screened. This suggests the possibility of selecting ...
Protein and carbohydrate composition of lucerne grown in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 1970)
Carbohydrate fractions and total nitrogen were measured in
leaves and stems of Wairau lucerne grown in Canterbury.
Leaves had lower levels of total soluble carbohydrate (3-5%),
cellulose (8-10%) and lignin (2-4%), and ...
The effectiveness of nitrification inhibitor technology to improve the sustainability of agriculture
(NZ Institute of Primary Industry Management (NZIPIM), 2009-12)
As reported widely in the general media and also in recent editions of Primary Industry Management, there is increasing recognition of the need to improve the sustainability of New Zealand agricultural systems. Fonterra’s ...
The fate of urine nitrogen: A grassland lysimeter study in Ireland
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2014-02)
In grazed pasture systems, the nitrogen (N) contained in a cattle urine patch may be up to 1200 kg N ha⁻¹. The majority of this N is in excess of plant requirements and is vulnerable to environmental loss. In this study, ...
