A glasshouse experiment was carried out to assess the feasibility of applying partial rootzone drying (PRD) to highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum). A subsequent field experiment was established to assess four irrigation strategies with the aim of improving water use efficiency in blueberry production. Applying PRD to plants during a glasshouse experiment reduced stomatal conductance without reducing plant water potential. Hindered by high rainfall, a physiological response to PRD was not repeated in field grown plants. However, irrigation scheduled using a K c (crop coefficient) curve constructed from Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 56 guidelines and post-harvest regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) delivered annual water savings of 0.8 ML ha(1 and 1.3 ML ha (1 , respectively, compared with a total 3.6 ML ha(1 applied using a 'rule-of-thumb' approach commonly adopted by Australian blueberry growers. These savings were achieved without reducing berry yield or quality. This study is the first to report on the feasibility of applying FAO 56 guidelines, RDI and PRD as strategies to maximize water use efficiency in highbush blueberry production.

“…Table 5 shows the nutrient contribution from poultry manure and compost applied at 7 -10 t/ha and sewage sludge applied at 5000 l/ha (approximately 1 t/ha on a dry weight basis). Additions of organic wastes can also have very beneficial effects on the physical characteristics of soils leading to better soil waterholding capacity and possibly better conditions for root growth (Marsh & Rixon 1991). This could have important implications for a permanent crop like kiwifruit subjected to the continued compacting effects of machinery.…”

The Maori land resource in the Bay of Plenty district is variously defined as to area and undefined as to land use. A general resumé of Maoti land title and tenure is given and procedures on succession commented on. Two statutory avenues which may assist utilisation, the establishment of trusts under section 438 of the Maori Affairs Act, and the establishment of Maori Incorporations, are discussed. Lending for development on the security of Maori land was largely the preserve of the now defunct Maori Affairs Department. No commercial organisation has emerged to undertake this role and development of Maori land on any appreciable scale is now likely to cease. Keywords Maori land, legislation, succession, utilisation, mortgages.
