Dryland pasture yields and botanical composition over 5 years under sheep grazing in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
Annual dry matter (DM) production and botanical
composition of six dryland pasture combinations, grown
under sheep grazing at Lincoln University for 5 years,
are presented. In 4 years, lucerne produced the highest
DM yields ...
Adapting farm systems to a drier future
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
In the Starborough-Flaxbourne area the local farming
community, alarmed at the increasing hill slope erosion,
set up a soil conservation group. Accelerated erosion
was a symptom of the past 12 years of below average
rainfall. ...
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 ...
Yield and botanical composition of lucerne, cocksfoot or ryegrass based pastures over six years
(2010)
Objective: To quantify annual yield and botanical composition from lucerne, cocksfoot and ryegrass based pastures. The presentation focuses on results from the MaxClover Grazing Experiment and lucerne grazing management ...
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 ...
Legumes for hill country
(2012)
In drought prone hill country, legumes can be introduced to increase nitrogen transfer to companion grasses which increases both the quality and quantity of feed available for grazing livestock. This powerpoint presentation ...
