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 coating and pelleting on germination and establishment of some grasses
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
The excellent results obtained in the establishment of legumes in much of the tussock hill country of the South Island, New Zealand, are somewhat balanced by quite disappointing establishment from grass oversowing in the ...
A study of kernel growth in wheat
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
Two field experiments were conducted to investigate the hypothesis that caryopsis weight at anthesis determines potential kernel weight of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at maturity. Potential kernel weight is the weight ...
The response of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) to planting method and sowing date
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
Effects of transplanting and agronomic treatments (plant arrangement, plant population, sowing date) were investigated on crops of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Amazon) during 1981/82 and 1982/83 seasons at Lincoln, ...
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 ...
Transmission and survival of perennial ryegrass endophyte during field based seed production: A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agriculture Science at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2019)
Agriculture in New Zealand is heavily centred on the use of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) based pasture systems. However, like all forage plant species, perennial ryegrass is susceptible to pests and diseases. To ...
Nitrogen supply at various stages of development in wheat : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1968)
The importance of nitrogen in plant nutrition has long been recognised. It is an indispensable constituent of amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids, all of which are essential in plant growth and development.
In wheat ...
Cool-season management of a winter-active lucerne cultivar
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
A dryland lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) grazing trial to compare cv Wairau and a winter-active cultivar, Rere, was conducted over a two and a half year period using mixed aged ewes. Four cool-season grazing treatments were ...
Changes in soil structure under various cropping systems
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
The percentage volume of soil occupied by pores larger than 100 µm in equivalent diameter (ε100) was used as an index of topsoil structure. The effects of variables on ε100 porosity values were examined to give information ...
Yield and phytotoxicity responses of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) sprayed with different herbicides for broadleaf weed control
(Lincoln University, 2017-03-31)
A key factor for integrating subterranean clover into pastoral systems is its success in the establishment year. With appropriate management, establishment ensures productivity and persistence in future years. This thesis ...
