Harvest index variability within and between field pea (Pisum sativum L.) crops
(Lincoln University, 1993)
The association between individual plant performance and seed yield variability within
and between field pea crops was investigated. In 1988/89 six F8 genotypes with
morphologically distinct characteristics were selected ...
Quality and quantity of chicory, lucerne and red clover production under irrigation
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2004)
The quality and quantity of production from irrigated
lucerne, chicory and red clover swards were compared
over six years (30 November 1996 30 June 2002) on a
Wakanui silt loam at Lincoln University. Mean annual
yields ...
Urine patches indicate yield potential of cocksfoot
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2002)
Dry matter (DM) production and crude protein (CP%)
of sheep urine patches in a grazed cocksfoot pasture (28
day rotation with 21±1 days regrowth) were measured
at Lincoln University from September 1999 to May
2001. Also, ...
Annual herbage production increased 40% when subterranean clover was over-drilled into grass-dominant dryland pastures
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2010)
Annual dry matter (DM) production and botanical
composition from dryland cocksfoot and ryegrass
pastures grown with and without subterranean clover
were measured over 2 years (2006-2008) in Canterbury.
Yields ranged from ...
Understanding the role of spring grazing of lucerne in the Central Otago environment
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2012)
The Lucerne for Lambs Sustainable Farming Fund
project used on-farm data and whole-farm modelling
to help farmers understand the impact of increasing
the amount of grazing dryland lucerne on Central
Otago farms. On-farm ...
Establishment of lucerne (Medicago sativa) sown on five dates with four inoculation treatments
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2012-11)
The establishment and growth of ‘Stamina 5’ lucerne (Medicago sativa) seed sown with three inoculant carriers (ALOSCA®, coated, and peat slurry treated) or as bare seed (control) on five dates (21 October 2010,
9 November ...
Natural resources for Canterbury agriculture
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2010)
This plenary paper was presented as an introduction to the Canterbury region at the combined 2010 conference for the New Zealand Grassland Association, New Zealand Agronomy Society, Australian Agronomy Society and New ...
Sowing strategies for slow-establishing pasture species on a North Otago dairy farm
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2000)
Slow-establishing, high quality, pasture species
are frequently added to standard ryegrass–white
clover seed mixtures in an effort to improve pasture
nutritive value. However, intense competition
during establishment can ...
Yield and water use of temperate pastures in summer dry environments
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
The water use efficiencies (WUE) of a range of temperate
pasture species were calculated from measurements on
several different dryland and irrigated pastures in
Canterbury. The annual WUE ranged from 6.7 kg DM/
ha/mm for ...
Cocksfoot and lucerne productivity in a Pinus radiata silvopastoral system: a grazed comparison
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2001)
Plant and animal production from cocksfoot pasture
and lucerne under 10–11 year-old radiata pine
trees (200 stems/ha) and from adjacent open
pastures (without trees) were measured from the
Lincoln University Silvopastoral ...
