Evaluating pasture forage plant breeding achievements: a review
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1146-1220, December 2025.ABSTRACT Forage plant breeding aims to deliver cultivars that increase on‐farm productivity through improved seasonal and annual yield, persistence of yield in perennials, and nutritive and feeding value. Breeding is generally undertaken in highly controlled field trials with individual plants or rows.

Quantification of nitrate‐N losses under intensive vegetable production systems in New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 53, Issue 5, Page 3091-3112, December 2025.ABSTRACT Nitrogen leaching under intensive vegetable production is a major concern in New Zealand, yet measurements remain scarce. The main aim of this study was to quantify the amount of nitrate‐N leached from representative soils and vegetable crops of the Lower North Island of New Zealand.
