Physiological and genetic aspects of herbicide resistance in giant buttercup (Ranunculus acris L. subsp. acris)
(Lincoln University, 1991)
Giant buttercup, (Ranunculus acris L. subsp. acris), has become a major weed of dairy pastures traditionally controlled by application of the chloro-phenoxy herbicide MCPA. A population of giant buttercup was confirmed as ...
Studies on the field establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus x Lupinus arboreus).
(Lincoln University, 1990)
Three field experiments in 1988 and 1989 evaluated the agronomic factors affecting the emergence and establishment of Russell lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus X L. arboreus). The first experiment in 1988 looked at the combined ...
The nutrition of container - grown lisianthus (Lisianthus russellianus)
(Lincoln University, 1991)
The response of lisianthus to N, P, K and lime was studied using a four factor central composite second order design with incomplete blocks. Added nutrients were 0-600 g m⁻³ N, 0-400 g m⁻³ P and 0-600 g m⁻³ K. Lime application ...
Role of thyroid hormones in the neuroendocrine control of seasonal reproduction in red deer hinds
(Lincoln University, 1997)
A series of eight experiments was conducted to investigate the requirement for thyroid hormones in neuroendocrine processes which lead to the seasonally anoestrous state in red deer hinds.
The first two experiments used ...
Studies of seasonality in red deer (Cervus elaphus) : with special emphasis on the reproductive physiology of red deer hinds
(Lincoln University, 1992)
Four trials were conducted to investigate factors controlling the seasonal onset of reproductive activity in red deer hinds.
Firstly (Chapter 4), the role of photorefractoriness to long daily photoperiods in the initiation ...
High rate anaerobic treatment of concentrated woolscouring wastewater
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Woolscouring in New Zealand produces a highly concentrated wastewater stream "flowdown" and a lightly contaminated stream of rinse water. Flowdown contains wool grease which has nearly four times the COD loading of suint, ...
Effects of supplementation with protein, or amino acids on performance of grazing dairy cows in late lactation
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Sixty seven Friesian dairy cows were monitored for eleven weeks in late lactation
(weeks 23-33 of lactation) to measure their milk production, intake and live weight response to protein or amino acid supplementation. The ...
Relationship between rainfall and sheep farm productivity : case studies in a variable environment
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Relationships between quantity of rainfall, reproductive and wool performance were examined for at least the last decade on four properties situated in the East Coast dryland environment. Results from all properties varied. ...
Effects of anabolic steroids on behaviour in mares
(Lincoln University, 1992)
The effects of the anabolic steroids, methandriol, testosterone and boldenone on
behaviour was studied in two mature mares. Behaviour was assessed using an all-instances
scan sampling technique and any interactions either ...
Assessment of genetic variability and genetic manipulations in lentils (L. c. ssp. culinaris Medikus)
(Lincoln University, 1996)
A series of experiments were conducted to assess the genetic variability and genetic relationships among Lens species at molecular (RAPD-PCR), biochemical (SDS-PAGE) and morphological levels. This information was further ...
