(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1989)
In the Canterbury and North Otago regions of New Zealand, many intensively cropped yellow-grey earths contain subsoils which have become compacted by traffic and/or natural processes and which therefore restrict root growth ...
Nodulation, growth and water use of chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.)
(Lincoln University, 1994)
