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 ...
Use of models and phenological forecasting in applied entomology
(Lincoln University, 1993)
Although experienced modellers are usually aware of the dangers and benefits of the use of models in applied entomology, many scientists who may use models are not. Some remain sceptical that models serve any useful purpose, ...
The influence of Hoki fishing vessels on Westland Petrel (Procellaria westlandica) distribution at sea
(Ornithological Society of New Zealand, 1997-09)
The Westland Petrel (Procellaria westlandica) population is thought to have increased significantly in recent decades, perhaps as a result of increased food in the form of waste from fishing vessels. A survey of Westland ...
Intraspecific variation in Microctonus hyperdoae and M. aethipopides (Hymenoptera: Braconidae); significance for their use of biological control agents
(Lincoln University, 1995)
Microctonus aethiopoides Loan and M. hyperodae Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae; Euphorinae) are parasitoids introduced to New Zealand to assist suppression of the lucerne pest Sitona discoideus Gyllenhal and the pasture pest ...
Feeding behaviour of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus L.) in a New Zealand pasture
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
The feeding behaviour of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus L.) has been investigated in a pastoral environment. Sampling methods that caused the minimum interference to the natural population were used. The relative ...
Tortricid moth pest management in Canterbury apple orchards
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Orchard practices and pest abundance were monitored at five sites over three seasons. Canterbury apple orchardists could produce high quality fruit with less than 1% damage using as few as four insecticide sprays per season. ...
Methods and techniques used in the development of an expert system for insect sampling plan design
(Lincoln University, 1990)
An expert systems prototype for insect sampling plan design in the New Zealand apple orchard environment was developed. The prototype advises on the preliminary design, analysis of the preliminary data and the main sampling ...
A study of insect pests of brussels sprouts in Canterbury; their phenology and the resultant crop losses
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
The relationships between insect pests and damage in Brussels sprouts were studied for three seasons in Canterbury. Each season the major pest species, white butterfly (Artogeia rapae L.), diamondback moth (Plutella ...
Burrow occupancy and related behaviour of broad-billed prions Pachyptila vittata on South East (Rangatira) Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand
(Lincoln University. Ecology and Entomology Group, 1998-07)
Burrow competition is occurring between broad-billed prions (Pachyptila vittata) and other small burrowing seabirds on South East (Rangatira) Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand. This competition has a negative impact on ...
The fractionation and analysis of lupin seed proteins with a detailed investigation of the albumins
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
Seed proteins from Lupinus angustifolius cv Uniharvest were fractionated by a modified Osborne method into four solubility classes namely, albumin, globulin, prolamin and glutelin fractions. Protein content and amino acid ...
