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. ...
Variability of harvest index in four grain legume species
(Lincoln University, 2001)
Grain legumes have the potential to be high yielding crops in Canterbury. However, like most grain legumes the problem of harvest index (HI) variability in Cicer arietinum, Lens culinaris, Lupinus angustifolius and Pisum ...
Grazing management of oversown tussock grassland in the South Island high country
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Continuous stocking, alternating (two paddock) and rotational (six paddock) grazing practices were compared at low (1.9), medium (3.0), and high (4.1 SU/ha/year) stocking rates for an over sown tussock grassland at Tara ...
Effects of grazing management and pasture composition on the nitrogen dynamics of a dairy farm: a simulation analysis
(Lincoln University, 2009)
There is an extensive debate on the potential environmental impact of dairy farms and in particular the effect of dairy farms on the nitrogen cycle and the effect that this has on ecosystems. Within New Zealand and in ...
