Production and analysis of the products of the acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation of beet extract by butyl clostridia
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
Rises in the price of oil during the 1970's stimulated interest in the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass. Although fuel ethanol has received a great deal of attention, the physical properties of butanol make ...
The effects of foliar diseases and irrigation on root development, yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Studies were conducted on three field trials of wheat cv. Kopara to investigate the lack of compensation by later determined components of yield because of early disease constraints. The investigation was based on the ...
Simulation-based design of water harvesting schemes for irrigation
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1981)
For large areas of New Zealand that suffer from agricultural drought, the only practicable way of providing irrigation is through the use of water harvesting schemes that divert winter flood water in nearby streams into ...
An information system for planning agricultural development in the Kingdom of Tonga
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
Past development efforts in the Kingdom of Tonga are reviewed in relation to the goals of reducing poverty, unemployment and inequality. It is shown that progress has been strictly limited and evidence is provided to support ...
Soil-landscape models as a basis of land resource assessment Flock Hill Station, Central Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
A methodology for using physiographic analysis and soil-landscape models to apply nationally available data to land resource assessment at the property level is outlined. The analytical procedure promotes the sequential ...
A study of the epicuticular wax of Chionochloa
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1981)
Epicuticular wax from 18 New Zealand and one Australian species of Chionochloa was analysed to determine inter- and intra-specific differences. The majority of the wax was found on the adaxial surface of younger leaves ...
Effects of powdery mildew and leaf rust on the apical development and yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
Two barley trials were conducted to study the effects of natural and fungicide modified epidemics of powdery mildew and leaf rust on yield and the development of yield potential.
The determination of disease effects on ...
An information system for urban property investment analysis
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Considerable potential exists for the development and provision of information able to assist urban property investment decision-making. This thesis revolves around the potential of information as a productive resource to ...
Studies on the luteoviruses beet western yellows virus and subterranean clover red leaf virus
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Beet western yellows virus (designated in this study as BWYVNZ) was shown to occur in New Zealand and cause yellowing in beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and turnip (Brassica rapa L.) crops in Canterbury.
Subterranean clover red ...
Factors influencing insulin yield and secretion from the ovine pancreas
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
The ovine pancreas was studied to determine the yield of insulin, the effect of dietary treatments on insulin yield and factors which influence the secretion of insulin from the gland.
Thus, pancreas glands were collected ...
