Leaf scorch on Pennisetum clandestinum dryland pastures induced by liquid urea ammonium nitrate fertilizer
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa • Authors: G.D. Hefer --- Department of Grassland Science, Republic of South Africa V.G. Naiken --- Department of Grassland Science, Republic of South Africa N.M. Tainton --- Department of Grassland Science, Republic of South AfricaTransmission electron (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that the application of liquid urea ammonium nitrate (UAN 32) fertilizer, in concentrated form, to dryland pastures resulted in leaf scorch and subsequent necrosis, irrespective of the level and concentration of... -
Genotype × environment interaction and principal factor analysis of seed characteristics related to canning quality of small white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: A.F. de Lange --- Department of Plant Breeding, Republic of South Africa M.T. Labuschagne --- Department of Plant Breeding, Republic of South AfricaAnalysis of variance, correlation analysis and principal factor analysis were applied to data for 23 sensory and physico-chemical traits measured on five cultivars of small white canning beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) planted at five localities in the 1995–96 season. Trait... -
Effects of early season and autumn nitrogen applications on young ‘Keisie’ canning peach trees on a sandy, infertile soil
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: J. Wooldridge --- , South AfricaThe effects of autumn (A) and early season (S) nitrogen (N) applications were investigated in a young ‘Keisie’ canning peach orchard on an infertile sandy soil in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Over the first four consistent bearing seasons,... -
Effects of potassium and early-season nitrogen applications on young ‘Keisie’ canning peach trees on a sandy, infertile soil
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: J. Wooldridge --- , South AfricaThe effects of different rates of potassium (K) and early season nitrogen (SN) were investigated in a ‘Keisie’ canning peach orchard on a sandy, infertile soil, at 1111 trees ha−1, in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Over the first... -
Using canonical variate analysis to group small white bean cultivars canned in tomato sauce according to their canning quality
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: M. van der Merwe --- , Republic of South Africa G. Osthoff --- Department of Microbial, Biochemical and Food Technology, South Africa A.J. Pretorius --- , Republic of South AfricaA laboratory-scale canning and evaluation method was employed to evaluate the canning quality of small white beans over cultivars, localities and seasons. Four small white bean cultivars, representing 15 localities from the 2001/02 season and six cultivars representing 17 localities... -
A canning quality model for small white bean lines selected for breeding (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: M. van der Merwe --- , South Africa G. Osthoff --- Department of Microbial, 9300 South Africa A.J. Pretorius --- , South AfricaThe study aimed to validate canonical variate analysis (CVA) model equations for the grouping of small white beans according to canning quality by testing them on four cultivar samples of known canning quality (2000/01 season), and 24 breeding samples that... -
Ultrastructure of epididymal spermatozoa in three social African mole-rats of the genus Cryptomys (Rodentia: Bathyergidae): conservatism in sperm morphology
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: K.A. Maswanganye --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa G.P. Malherbe --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South Africa N.C. Bennett --- Mammal Research Institute, Department of Zoology and Entomology, South AfricaThe morphology, size and three-dimensional structure of spermatozoa from three representatives of the genus Cryptomys were investigated. To date, there has been no study to either elucidate the morphological features or relative dimensions of spermatozoa in the genus Cryptomys specifically,... -
