(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)The New Zealand flower thrips (Thrips obscuratus (Crawford)) is an important pest of stonefruit during flowering and at harvest in New Zealand. The biology and control of this species formed the basis for this study. A simple method for laboratory rear ...

(Canterbury Agricultural College, University of New Zealand, 1951)Pastures provide the natural food supply of grazing animals and are the raw materials for the world's wool, meat and dairying industries. In an effort to increase livestock production, research workers have been developing techniques by which pasture pro ...
