SOIL NITROGEN AND PASTURE MANAGEMENT

open access: yesProceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1978
The seasonal pattern of nitrogen mineralization is described and compared with the potential demand for nitrogen by grasses. Peak mineralization rates occur in spring but are quite inadequate for expression of potential grass growth. Nitrogen fixation by clovers provides a significant input into the system over a short period. Consideration of the fate

U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.

A study on the effect of sward conditions on herbage accumulation during winter and spring : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Recently there has been an increased trend for farmers to adopt farm systems that operate at a reduced stocking rate, with the aim to improve per hectare production through achieving higher production per cow.

THE MANAGEMENT AND UTILIZATION OF PASTURE BY PIGS

open access: yesProceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1955
The New Zealand farmer who breeds pigs tends to place either too much emphasis upon the value of pasture, with rather dire effects, or too little, with the result that he deprives himself of a valuable addition to his basic feed supply. In this paper an attempt will be made to assess the value of pasture in the New Zealand pig keeping economy over the ...

Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.

Use of turnips to reduce potassium accumulation on areas receiving farm dairy effluent : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Soil Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Land treatment of farm dairy effluent (FDE) on small areas of intensive of dairy farms has enriched soils with nutrients particularly K. Solving the problem solely by increasing the area allocated for land treatment requires large investment in pump ...

PEDIGREE PASTURE STRAINS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT

open access: yesProceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1961
The main reason for the committee asking me for this paper was to hear some information on Grasslands Division's new longrotation ryegrass. At the outset let me say that although this new strain is still at the field testing and early seed multiplication stage, I am sure that in it New Zealand has another outstanding string to its agricultural bow ...

Innovative Artificial Intelligence‐Assisted Systems for Social Science Research: Architecture Design and Applied Practice

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of large language model (LLM) technology is profoundly transforming the practice of social science research. Scholarly discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI)'s role in social science research can be organised into three levels: AI as a research tool, AI as a methodological infrastructure and AI as a quasi‐cognitive ...

Recent Trends in Metabolomics by NMR Spectroscopy

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
AI tools were applied to analyze more than 5 000 publications indexed in Scopus (2018–2025), identifying key trends and research directions in NMR‐based metabolomics. The artificial intelligence‐assisted workflow classified papers into six main fields of application, human health, food and nutrition, veterinary science, plants, environment, and ...

Modeling N2O emissions with remotely sensed variables using machine learning

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications
Nitrous oxide is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from crop production. There is significant interest in targeting marginal lands for growing biomass crops, however little information is available on how this will affect N _2 O emissions ...
