Corn yield, phosphorus uptake and soil quality as affected by the application of anaerobically digested dairy manure and composted chicken manure
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)The excessive accumulation of animal manure in livestock production units has made manure a valuable phosphorus (P) source that if used efficiently can be a sustainable alternative to mineral P fertilizer. A two-year field ... -
Cowpea yield under the influence of cropping system, location and nitrogen fertilization
(Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2016)Yield production of cowpea depends largely on the environmental factors, cropping systems and soil type of the location. In this way, an experiment was conducted to investigate the interaction effect of cropping system, ... -
Crop rotation sequencing to minimize yield losses of summer-irrigated lowland rice in Myanmar caused by the rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)The effect of different rice-based crop rotation sequences on the population densities of Meloidogyne graminicola and on the yield of rice was evaluated in a microplot experiment under lowland rice field conditions. Ten ... -
Effect of pit-composting on root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica) population densities and yield of tomato under field conditions
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Soil amendments, constituting of various plant and animal sources, were evaluated in pits for their effects on Meloidogyne spp. infecting tomato in comparison to the synthetic nematicide fenamiphos and the untreated control. ... -
Evaluation of fungicides for potential growth regulating properties on sorghum
(Elsevier, 2017)Fungicidal compounds such as triazoles and strobilurins have been shown to have plant growth regulating properties leading to, amongst others, delayed senescence or increased yield. The aim of the current study was to ... -
Production of ethanol from sweetstem sorghum and tropical sugar beet for a rural community
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)Rural communities in the North West Province of South Africa are among the poorest in the world with an average income of less than ZAR 8.75 (EU 0.875) per day. The South African government has committed itself to upliftment ... -
Sweet corn production and soil chemical properties under different management practices in dryland conditions of South Africa
(Estacao Vitivinicola Nacional, 2016)A field trial involving sweet corn was carried out at the University of Limpopo experimental farm over two-summer production seasons. The trial was conducted to assess the productivity of sweet corn under different management ...
