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 ...
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 ...
Establishment, annual yield and nitrogen response of eight perennial grasses in a high country environment
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2008)
An experiment was established within the Lees Valley
(400 m a.s.l.), Canterbury out of low producing, browntop
dominant grassland. The aim was to quantify dry matter
(DM) production of improved perennial grasses in relation
to ...
Alfalfa
(Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, 2012)
Pasture composition and production from different cropping sequences in dryland pasture converted from Pinus radiata forest
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)
Dry matter production and pasture composition were
measured over 22 months in eight cropping sequences
on a dryland site converted from forest to pasture.
Cropping sequences involved different combinations of:
(i) autumn ...
Thermal time requirements for flowering of precocious Asiatic magnolias
(Lincoln University, 2002)
Observations on flowering times of 55 different Magnolia species, hybrids and cultivars were made at Lincoln University over a period of five years. Results from June 1st until 50% full flowering showed thermal time was a ...
