High sugar ryegrasses for livestock systems in New Zealand
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)
There has been mounting interest over the proposed
production and environmental benefits from using
perennial ryegrass cultivars bred to have higher water
soluble carbohydrate content (high sugar grasses). Here,
we objectively ...
Pasture production and botanical composition of high sugar and control ryegrasses with or without endophyte under irrigation in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2009)
High sugar grasses and novel endophytes are two new
technologies promoted for pastoral farmers. While
assessing their value for pastoral farming it is important
to consider the interactive effects of these technologies
on ...
Effect of post grazing residual and concentrate feeding on milk production in early lactation
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2013)
Two strategies to increase nutrient supply to early lactation dairy cows were compared and the cumulative effects on pasture quality and milk production were investigated. In a farmlet experiment the effect of feeding ...
Response of simple grass-white clover and multi-species pastures to gibberellic acid or nitrogen fertiliser in autumn
(NZ Grassland Association, 2013)
Herbage dry matter (DM) production, botanical composition and nutritive value of pastures were measured in response to the application of 24 g/ha gibberellic acid (GA; 60 g ProGibb®/ha) and 50 kg N/ha nitrogen fertiliser ...
Argentine stem weevil damage to high sugar ryegrass infected with AR1 under field conditions
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
Previous laboratory based studies indicate that, compared
to standard cultivars, high sugar grasses (HSG) can have
lower endophyte and peramine concentrations and
suggest that N fertilisation may result in further reductions
in ...
What perennial ryegrass should you sow?
(South Island Dairy Event (SIDE), 2011-06)
Choosing the right perennial ryegrass or combination of perennial ryegrasses is an important
decision to increase the production, persistence and quality of pasture harvested on your farm.
Perennial ryegrasses can be ...
Grazing behaviour, dry matter intake and urination patterns of dairy cows offered kale or fodder beet in winter
(NZSAP, 2014-06)
The opportunity to reduce nitrogen (N) losses to the environment from wintering systems for dairy cows may arise from a combination of restricted grazing systems and feeding low N diets to reduce N intake.
Lack of information ...
Current status of biological control of Cirsium arvense in New Zealand
Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (Californian, Canada or creeping thistle) is an exotic perennial herb that successfully established in New Zealand (NZ) approximately 130 years ago, and is now considered one of the worst invasive ...
Milk yield and urinary-nitrogen excretion of dairy cows grazing forb pasture mixtures designed to reduce nitrogen leaching
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
The effect of including a mixture of forbs in a standard perennial ryegrass-white clover pasture, with or without Italian ryegrass was investigated in a two-period grazing study comparing urinary nitrogen (N) excretion and ...
Can a winter-sown catch crop reduce nitrate leaching losses after winter forage grazing?
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2016)
Direct grazing of winter forage crops to feed non-lactating, pregnant dairy cows prior to calving is a common management practice in the New Zealand South Island. However, the high crop yields per hectare grazed, combined ...
