Comparison between methods for estimating sprout damage in wheat
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: A. Barnard --- , South Africa C.S. van Deventer --- Department of Plant Science (Plant Breeding), Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, South Africa H. Maartens --- Department of Plant Science (Plant Breeding), Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, South AfricaSprouting in wheat is common when rain occurs during harvest. This causes the moisture content of the grain to increase to a level at which germination takes place and α-amylase increases. Various methods can be used to determine α-amylase in... -
Significance of kernel moisture content in determination of Hagberg Falling Number in wheat
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: M. Craven --- , South Africa A. Barnard --- , South Africa M.T. Labuschagne --- , South AfricaThe effect of early termination of kernel filling (early harvest) on the Hagberg Falling Number (HFN) was investigated over a four-year period. Selected South African wheat cultivars were harvested at different stages of kernel development, determined by kernel moisture content... -
The effect of poor quality seed and various levels of grading factors on the germination, emergence and yield of wheat
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: A. Barnard --- , South Africa F.J. Calitz --- , South AfricaHigh quality seed is essential for establishing productive stands of wheat. Seed should have, amongst others, a high germination percentage, be free of seed borne diseases and should not contain any weed seed. Protein content (PC), hectolitre mass (HLM) and... -
Honouring the opening: Unfolding the rich ground between the philosophical thinking of Martin Heidegger and practice-based empirical work
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology • Authors: Kitty Maria Suddick --- , United Kingdom Vinette Cross --- , United Kingdom Pirjo Vuoskoski --- , Finland Kathleen T. Galvin --- , United Kingdom Graham Stew --- , United KingdomThe aim of this article is to bring philosophical thinking closer to practice-based empirical work. Using Martin Heidegger’s philosophy, it offers a bridge between these two worlds, attempting to provide philosophical depth to the findings of a hermeneutic phenomenological study... -
A new record of a chick falling from a nest in Limpopo province, South Africa, adds to the known causes of Hooded Vulture Necrosyrtes monachus mortality
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: --- , South Africa --- , South Africa --- University Thomas Sankara, Burkina Faso --- , South Africa --- , United StatesFor all species, causes of mortality, both anthropogenic and natural, should be recorded. In Critically Endangered species these records are even more important, owing to their potential impacts on small and/or declining populations. Here we present a case of natural... -
Comparison of three methods to assess pre-harvest sprouting in wheat
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: SI Hull --- Stellenbosch University, South Africa PA Swanepoel --- Stellenbosch University, South Africa WC Botes --- Stellenbosch University, South Africa C Mutengwa --- University of Fort Hare, South AfricaPre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an increasing concern, as climate variability alters rainfall patterns and air temperatures during harvest, intensifying risk in many cereal-producing regions. The untimely germination of the grain, PHS, is caused by germination...
