Grapevine rhizosphere bacteria: influence of diversity and function on two root diseases
(Lincoln University, 2009)
The overall goal of this research was to determine what, if any, role grapevine rhizosphere bacteria play in the differing susceptibilities of New Zealand grown rootstocks to Cylindrocarpon black foot disease. The size and ...
Breeding biology and threats to the blue penguin (Eudyptula minor) in South Westland, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2009)
The Blue Penguin (Eudyptula minor) is assumed to be declining over much of its range, largely due to introduced predators. Anecdotal evidence suggests that one of the areas of declining population is the West Coast of the ...
A study of the growth and development of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
The response of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) seedlings to reduced light, interference from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and some aspects of regeneration from rhizomes were the subject of investigations from 1976 until 1980. ...
Towards integrated pest management of phythophagous insects in Tasmanian blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) plantations in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 1999)
Acacia melanoxylon provenance trials were assessed to investigate: (1) The degree to which insect populations influence growth and the change from juvenile to mature foliage. (2) How tree growth rates and overall performance ...
The effect of floral resources on the leafroller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) parasitoid Dolichogenidea tasmanica (Cameron)(Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in selected New Zealand vineyards
(Lincoln University, 2002)
In this study, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and alyssum (Lobularia
maritima (L.)) flowers were used to examine the effect of floral resources on the efficacy
of the leafroller parasitoid Dolichogenidea tasmanica ...
Modelling germination and early seedling growth of radiata pine
(Lincoln University, 2008)
Background: This study seeks to model aspects of the regeneration of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D.Don) seedlings under a range of environmental conditions. This study investigated whether “hybrid” mechanistic models, ...
Evaluation of image analysis for studing mite behaviour
(Lincoln University, 1996)
The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of image analysis for studying
mite behaviour. Image analysis was used to convert video recordings of mites' locomotory
behaviour into a series of x,y coordinates ...
Toxic and sub-lethal effects of selected pyrethroid insecticides on spider mites
(Lincoln University, 1991)
Spider mite (Tetranychidae) outbreaks often occur following pyrethroid insecticide applications, although there is considerable variation between the response to different pyrethroids. Recent reviews suggested that differences ...
The effect of environmental factors and crop interference on the biology of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) seed and seedlings
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1983)
A population of 58 seedling yarrow (Achillea millefolium) plants m⁻² produced approximately 243,000 viable seeds per square metre in the first season of growth and development. Approximately 10% of the freshly harvested ...
Your biodiversity in my backyard : key local stakeholders' perceptions of biodiversity conservation in Gorontalo, Indonesia
(Lincoln University, 2008)
The establishment of protected areas (PAs) has been the key national strategy in biodiversity conservation, through preserving the unique wildlife and ecosystems in Indonesia. As well as their status as sites rich in ...
