Nutrition of container grown plants with emphasis on the Proteaceae
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
A range of Proteaceous shrubs and other nursery plants were grown
in containers with soilless media and various N levels. Plants demonstrated a range of responsiveness. Supplying soilless media with Osmocote (26% N) and ...
An investigation into aspect related erosion forms in a valley in the Port Hills, Banks Peninsula
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1979)
The study region is in an asymmetrical valley about 100 m a.s.l., within the Port Hills, Banks Peninsula. Mass movement of the loess colluvium regolith mantling the southwest facing backslopes is common but has rarely ...
Field investigations into the fate of fertilizer sulphur added to pasture-soil systems
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1976)
In order to understand, more fully, some of the factors affecting the S requirements of pastures, S³⁵-labelled gypsum fertilizer was applied to several field trials located on soils within the recent, yellow brown earth ...
Soil sulphur analysis by x-ray fluorescence
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is widely accepted as a highly versatile and potentially accurate method of instrumental analysis.
The occurrence of sulphur deficiencies in many areas has led to increased research on ...
Feeding behaviour of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus L.) in a New Zealand pasture
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
The feeding behaviour of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus L.) has been investigated in a pastoral environment. Sampling methods that caused the minimum interference to the natural population were used. The relative ...
Soil resource survey of the Sumner region, Port Hills, Canterbury
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1976)

Dynamic planning and pig fattening
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1977)
Farmers make decisions in a planning environment in which planning information is frequently imperfect and outcomes uncertain. Efficient planning systems must therefore be dynamic in nature. However, available systems which ...
An investigation of the microbiological deterioration of vulcanized rubber
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1971)
The aim of this investigation was to establish the relative resistance of natural and synthetic rubbers to microbial attack, study the influence of formulation on the rate of deterioration of vulcanized natural rubber, ...
The effects of spatially distributed rainfall on catchment response
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
It is commonly assumed in the application of many models of catchment behaviour that catchment rainfall is uniformly distributed over a catchment. This study examines the effects of non-uniform spatially distributed rainfall ...
Studies on the diseases of wheat in New Zealand caused by Septoria and Tilletia spp.
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
The literature on the pathogens Septoria tritici and Septoria nodorum, and the wheat diseases they cause has been reviewed, including methods of disease assessment and some aspects of fungicide application and mode of ...
