Weed invasion in different species compositions with and without perennial ryegrass
(Master thesis, 2018)Though perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is a desired species in roughage production because of its nutritive qualities, it is not very persistent and - when used in species mixtures - often disappears after the first ... -
Organisk avfall som vekstmedium og næring for solbær (Ribes nigrum L.) på intensivt grønt tak og sosiale effekter av urbant landbruk
(Master thesis, 2018)Til urban dyrking i bykjernen er det vanlig å kjøpe jord siden jorda i byen ofte er forurenset. En sirkulær økonomi, med fokus på avfallshåndtering, er derfor en forutsetning for at urban dyrking skal være bærekraftig. ... -
Effekt av ukentlig registrering av vekt og fôrforbruk hos slaktegris : erfaringer fra åtte besetninger i Trøndelag
(Master thesis, 2018)Når denne oppgaven skrives, opplever norsk slaktegrisproduksjon utfordrende økonomiske tider. En måte å øke lønnsomheten i produksjonen på er å øke produktiviteten. Fôrkostnaden er den største utgiftsposten i norsk ... -
