Interaction between Some Pasture Species and Two Hieracium Species
Possible control options are investigated for the introduced Hieracium weeds, particular problems in South Island high country, New Zealand. In a pot experiment regression of input to output ratios of above ground biomass over successive harvests, from binary mixtures was used to determine the competitive interaction between 13 pasture species and two Hieracium species, H. pilosella and H. prae...
متن کاملComparison of feeding value of a treated sea plant, Posidonia australis, with lucerne, pasture and wheat
An experiment was carried out to compare the effect of feeding posidonia australis as a non-conventional feedstuff with cereal straw for sheep maintenance; and to compare seagrass/chicken litter with lucerne hay and pasture for sheep production on a scale such as would be applicable to lot-feeding of sheep in the area of suthern Australia in case of short term feed scarcity. To approach this ta...
متن کاملSome limitations of pasture species in southern Australia
Following the flurry of plant exploration in the 1950's, most activity with the plants collected apparently centred on expanding the area of adaptation of perennial grass and annual legume. Many of the subsequently released grass cultivars have been agronomically successful but have not been adopted. Haifa white clover, released by the New South Wales Department of Agriculture 25 years after co...
متن کاملEndozoochory by slugs can increase bryophyte establishment and species richness
Herbivory can aff ect plant community composition and diversity by removing biomass and reducing light competition. Herbivory may particularly benefi t low growing species such as bryophytes, which are frequently limited by light competition. Gastropods are important herbivores of seed plants and cryptogams, furthermore, they can disperse propagules such as seeds and spores via endozoochory. Ho...
متن کاملExperiments on Plant Hybrids by Gregor Mendel
Here, translated into English, GENETICS republishes the original Mendel article. As discussed in the Perspectives by Daniel J. Fairbanks and Scott Abbott this translation differs from others in an attempt to be both more accurate than previous translations and also more accessible. GENETICS wishes to thank Scott Abbott and Daniel J. Fairbanks for their labors in presenting the scientific commun...
