Copper deficiency in lucerne (Medicago sativa. L.)
… have been posed than answered. It is clear that Lucerne production is being limited by low Cu levels in some areas. The relationships between yield and plant composition were rather different from those predicted from other studies; it is considered that this indicated that the present …

Contact metamorphism of the Lucerne pluton, Hancock Co., Maine
The Lucerne pluton intrudes rocks of the Penobscot formation Ordovician-Silurian (?)), a quartz-rich sulfidic pelite that contains muscovite, biotite, cordierite, andalusite, plagioclase, pyrrhotite and graphite outside the thermal aureole; and the Bucksport formation (=Vassalboro, Silvian-Devonian …

The ecology of the lucerne flea, Sminthurus viridis, in the South-Auckland/Waikato area
Lucerne flea, Sminthurus viridis L., is an annual pest in pastures in the Auckland/Waikato area. It damages legumes, particularly white clover, from late autumn until early summer, with a peak in infestation in spring. No research into the seasonality of the lucerne flea (LF) has been done in New …

The ecology and utilization of dryland lucerne pastures on deep sands in the Upper South East of South Australia
… was undertaken on pastures based on dryland lucerne (cv. Hunter River) at Kynoch Station on deep sandy soils in the Upper South East of South Australia (Mediterranean climate with 420-450 mm average annual rainfall). Merino wethers were grazed for four years (1967-70) to assess treatment …

The reproductive seasonality and flight capability of Sitona discoideus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and its pattern of larval establishment in Canterbury lucerne
… samples were taken at regular intervals from lucerne (Medicago saliva L.) stands throughout the 1982-83 and 1983-84 seasons. Changes in the weevil's reproductive condition and flight muscle morphology were monitored by dissection. This work confirmed that the univoltine adult weevils entered …

Agronomic potential of Lupinus polyphyllus L. for dryland Merino properties in the Mackenzie Basin : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… were carried out. Throughout the thesis, lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) was used as a control. The use of perennial lupin as a suitable feed for a commercial Merino ewe flock was evaluated in an on-farm study at Sawdon Station, Lake Tekapo. The performance of ewes and lambs grazing a …

Lucerne establishment studies on two types of uncultivated country : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science with Honours in the University of Canterbury, Lincoln College
… (20-40” rainfall) area of these grasslands, lucerne (medicago sativa L.) may have a considerable agronomic advantage over clovers. This agronomic advantage is the result of lucerne’s higher annual dry matter production, its lower variability between seasons and its capacity to maintain …

Protein from pasture
… white clover, ryegra.ss/whi te clover and lucerne herbages were used in an industrial pilot-scale study of the effects of regrowth period and season on protein extraction, separation and recovery. Herbage was harvested, adjusted to 10% tlry matter, pulped and (belt) pressed. Protein in the …

Intensive parameters of a sulfide and aluminosilicate-bearing granite, Hancock County, Maine
… lies at the southeast portion of the felsic Lucerne pluton, near the contact with the Blue Hill pluton. The Cambro-Ordovician, chlorite-rich Ellsworth schist occurs to the north and south of the younger fine-grained granite and is the host to many sulfide deposits within the region. Within …

Comparing plant yield and composition with soil properties using classical and geostatistical techniques
… a vital role in the success or failure of modern Lucerne production. In South Africa, Lucerne is produced under a wide range of climatic conditions, under dryland and irrigation and in some areas throughout the year. This means that there is a continuous demand for nutrients under a wide range of …

Identifying nutritive, physical and volatile characteristics of oaten and lucerne hay that affect the short-term feeding preferences of lactating Holstein Friesian cows and Thoroughbred horses.
… which in this particular study was oaten or lucerne hay, is its level of voluntary intake, which depends in part on palatability. Palatability is an integrative term (Provenza 1995); to provide a quantitative measure of the acceptability of a feedstuff, a „preference value’ can be obtained by …

An evaluation of the potential of selected indigenous Namibian forage legumes for feeding goats
… Boer goats fed native forage legumes compared to lucerne and lablab. In experiment 1, the chemical composition of 14 legumes was determined. In experiment 2, the palatability of Crotalaria argyraea, C. podocarpa, Otoptera burchellii and Vigna lobatifolia was determined relative to Lucerne in a …

Color, Line, and Narrative: Visual Art Techniques in Lev Tolstoy’s Fiction
… in an examination of the 1857 short story “Lucerne.” I then trace the shifts in Tolstoy’s visuality toward what I term his “draughtsmanly” aesthetic. This later visuality, which culminates in the 1899 novel Resurrection, features many aspects of temporal literature, such as increased …
