Production of pasture species in the winter rainfall region: Simulation of dry matter production
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa • Authors: J.M. Vanheerden --- Department of Agriculture & Water Supply (Winter Rainfall Region), N.M. Tainton --- Department of Grassland Science,Production data derived from cutting trials undertaken at a number of sites in the Winter Rainfall Region were used to derive equations for the prediction of the yield of a number of pasture species. Inputs into the models include climatic... -
Impact of seed burial depth on the emergence and growth of annual forage legumes
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Francuois L Müller --- Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, South Africa Lincoln Raitt --- Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, South Africa Lilburne Cyster --- Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, South AfricaThe importance of evaluating the tolerance of forages to deeper seed burial is often overlooked. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of increased seed burial depth on the emergence, vigour and early seedling growth of annual forage legume cultivars in... -
Soil quality effects on regeneration of annual Medicago pastures in the Swartland of South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: Pieter A Swanepoel --- Department of Agronomy, South Africa Flackson Tshuma --- Department of Agronomy, South AfricaAnnual medic (Medicago spp.) pastures are widely used as the forage component of crop rotation systems in the Mediterranean region of South Africa. Reliable establishment of medics can be challenging. This may be related to poor soil quality, an inherent...
