(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Ascochyta fabae was present in all the field and broad bean crops surveyed in the Canterbury and Marlborough areas during the 1978/79 and 1979/80 seasons. In broad bean crops, the disease incidence on the flowering nodes ...
Metabolism of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins in sheep
(Lincoln University, 1991)
This thesis describes two approaches for studying of lipoprotein metabolism in sheep. The first approach involves the assay of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity to determine the role of lipoprotein-triacylglycerol fatty ...
Grazing management of oversown tussock grassland in the South Island high country
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Continuous stocking, alternating (two paddock) and rotational (six paddock) grazing practices were compared at low (1.9), medium (3.0), and high (4.1 SU/ha/year) stocking rates for an over sown tussock grassland at Tara ...
