Development of biocontrol methods for camellia flower blight caused by Ciborinia camelliae Kohn
(Lincoln University, 2002)
Camellia flower blight is caused by the sclerotial-forming fungus Ciborinia camelliae Kohn, and is specific to flowers of most species of camellias. An investigation was conducted into the feasibility of a wide range of ...
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. ...
Molecular systematics and colour variation of Carpophilus species (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) of the South Pacific
(Lincoln University, 2009)
The sap beetle genus Carpophilus Stephens (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is a large genus consisting of over 200 species and are found worldwide. Several species are important pests of crops and stored products, and are frequently ...
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 ...
Plant parasitic nematodes: the effect of lolines.
(Lincoln University, 2008)
Grass endophytes live their entire life cycle within the aerial portion of the grass host,
with which they form a defensive mutualism. The endophyte which resides
intercellularly within the grass, synthesizes an array ...
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 ...
Role of mycorrhizae in rhizosphere processes and phosphorus dynamics
(Lincoln University, 2010-01)
The increased soil organic phosphorus (P) mineralization observed under trees compared to pasture has been attributed to the contrasting mycorrhizal associations of the two systems but to date, little work has been conducted ...
Enhancement of the efficacy of the parasitoid, Microctonus hyperodae Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) by provision of floral resources to improve biological control of its host, the Argentine stem weevil (Listronotus bonariensis) (Kuschel) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Lincoln University, 2005)
In this study, conservation biological control principles were applied to increase the efficacy of Microctonus hyperodae Loan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid of the Argentine stem weevil (Listronotus bonariensis ...
