Studies on the field establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus x Lupinus arboreus).
(Lincoln University, 1990)
Three field experiments in 1988 and 1989 evaluated the agronomic factors affecting the emergence and establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus X L. arboreus). The first experiment in 1988 looked at the combined ...
Introduction of perennial grasses into an existing lucerne sward by overdrilling
(Lincoln University, 1991)
Two experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of some management practices on the establishment of perennial grasses (‘Grasslands Matua’ prairie grass, ‘Grasslands Maru’ phalaris and ‘Grasslands Nui’ perennial ...
The effect of irrigation and time of harvest on maturity, yield, and gross return of four vining pea cultivars
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
Four vining pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivars 'Tere', 'Piri', 'Pania', and 'Greenfeast 68' (Gf.68) were grown either with irrigation at start of flowering and pod fill, or without (natural rainfall). Harvesting began once ...
The effects of plant spacing and water on green peas
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1971)
The processed pea industry has grown rapidly in New Zealand over the last few years and prospects for further growth look reasonably bright. In the past the main production area for processed peas has been Hawkes Bay. With ...
Seed yield and carbohydrate distribution in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) seed crops
(Lincoln University, 2016-06-29)
A field experiment was conducted to quantify the carbohydrate distribution in perennial (Lolium perenne L.) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) seed crops from anthesis to harvest. To do this, first year crops of ...
Dry matter production and botanical composition of multi-species pasture mixtures during the second year after establishment
(Lincoln University, 2017)
A pasture mixture experiment was conducted, growing four species; perennial ryegrass, plantain, white clover and red clover under irrigation in Canterbury, New Zealand. The experiment set out to identifty an optimal pasture ...
Effect of row width and plant population density on yield and quality of maize (Zea mays) silage
(Lincoln University, 2017-03-27)
The study reported in this thesis was conducted during 2015/2016 at Lincoln University, New Zealand, to investigate the effect of row width and plant population density on yield and nutritive quality of maize silage (Pioneer ...
Growth and development of lucerne with different fall dormancy ratings
(Lincoln University, 2018)
The main aim of this research was to understand differences in the growth and development of three lucerne genotypes with different fall dormancy (FD) ratings; FD2 (dormant), FD5 (semi-dormant) and FD10 (winter-active). ...
Grazing management strategies of diverse pastures on irrigated dairy farm systems
(Lincoln University, 2018)
Strategies to increase herbage dry matter (DM) production and quality while reducing environmental impacts are sought for dairy farming systems. Two strategies to improve DM production and quality are grazing management ...
Understanding the nutritive value of pasture mixtures
(Lincoln University, 2017-11-13)
An investigation of how nutritive value changes with respect to the number of species and proportions of species in pasture mixtures was carried out at Lincoln University. Tetraploid perennial ryegrass cv. Base, plantain ...
