The assessment of soil microbial and plant physiological changes during the treatment of soil containing bromacil, tebuthiuron and ethidimuron
De Beer, Misha (North-West University, 2005)Increased amounts of pesticide production and application of pesticides for agriculture, plant protection and animal health has resulted in soil, water and air pollution, consequently relating a serious risk to the ... -
Assessment of the biofumigation effect of Canola (Brassica napus) on soil microbial community function and structure
Potgieter, Clarissa. (North-West University, 2012)Sunflower cultivation in South Africa is threatened to a large extent by the fungal parasite, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which causes extensive head rot and crop losses of up to 100%. This is a major problem for commercial ... -
Characterisation of dark chilling effects on the functional longevity of soybean root nodules
De Beer, Misha (North-West University, 2012)A large proportion of the world’s nitrogen needs is derived from symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF), which contributes substantially to agricultural sustainability. The partnership between legumes and rhizobia result in the ... -
The effect of canola (Brassica napus) as a biofumigant on soil microbial communities and plant vitality: a pot study
Potgieter, Clarissa; De Beer, Misha; Claassens, Sarina (Taylor & Francis and NISC, 2013)Canola (Brassica napus) may be incorporated into soil as a biofumigant for control of pathogens such as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Yet, the effect of biofumigants on natural microbial communities required to maintain soil ... -
