The effect of defoliation on the regrowth and leaf area index of lucerne
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1966)
In recent years, much agricultural research has been directed towards maximizing pasture and crop yields. The determination of yield through the growth and development of the forage crop plant is very complex. It involves ...
The effect of water stress, nitrogen and gibberellic acid on the phytotoxicity of post-emergent herbicides to Avena spp.
(Lincoln University, 1990)
A series of experiments was carried out on cultivated oat (Avena sativa L. cv Amuri) to
examine the efficacies of fluazifop-butyl and glyphosate against water stressed plants,
plants grown in low and high nitrogen and ...
Effects of different harvest start times on leafy vegetables (Lettuce, Pak Choi and Rocket) in a reaping and regrowth system
(Lincoln University, 2008)
Leafy vegetables, lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Green Oakleaf), pak choi (Brassica sinensis L. cv. Oriental Taisai) and rocket (Eruca sativa L.), were planted in an open field at Lincoln University on January 2005. Plants ...
Water use efficiency of six dryland pastures in Canterbury
(Lincoln University, 2009)
The annual and seasonal water use efficiency of six pasture combinations were calculated from the ‘MaxClover’ Grazing Experiment at Lincoln University. Pastures have been established for six years and are grazed by best ...
Ecophysiology of clonal and seedling trees of Pinus Radiata D. don in an argoforestry system
(Lincoln University, 1997)
Above ground biomass production, crown architecture and canopy development were studied in seedling origin (seedling trees) and a tissue culture origin clone (clonal trees) of Pinus radiate trees, growing with and without ...
Towards a breeding strategy for yield improvement in selected lines of hexaploid triticale (X. triticosecale Wittmack)
(Lincoln University, 1991)
To establish a breeding strategy for grain yield improvement, 11 hexaploid triticale lines and 24 of their F₁ hybrids were studied in four environments (August vs. October sowing /22 vs. 67 plants m⁻²). Two cultivars and ...
Causes and control of high screenings in barley
(Lincoln University, 1991)
Four field experiments were conducted between 1986 and 1989 with a two-row spring barley cultivar 'Triumph' in Lincoln, Canterbury, New Zealand, to investigate the causes of screenings and the measures for minimizing ...
The potential of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a mycoherbicide for the perennial pasture weed Ranunculus acris subsp. acris L.
(Lincoln University, 1995)
Ranunculus acris subsp. acris L. is a vigorous, perennial weed, and a serious problem in dairying regions of New Zealand. Evolved resistance to the phenoxy herbicides (MCPA, MCPB and 2,4-D) prompted the search for an ...
The development of recombinant progency from crosses between Hordeum vulgare L. and H. bulbosum L.
(Lincoln University, 1992)
Crosses between Hordeum vulgare L. (cultivated barley) and H. bulbosum L. (bulbous barley grass) have been carried out for several decades to introgress desirable genes from the wild species into cultivated barley, but ...
Genetic diversity in Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) and geographical origin of the New Zealand population
(Lincoln University, 1994)
The Argentine stem weevil, Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an important introduced pasture pest in New Zealand and causes hundreds of millions of dollars in damage annually to pasture and ...
