Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Forestry Journal • Authors: A.W. Schumann --- ,The relative competition imposed on Eucalyptus hybrid clone GC304 grown from establishment with either complete weed cover, intra-row weeds, inter-row weeds or legume cover crops of Mucuna pruriens and Vigna sinensis is under study in a field experiment on a... -
Effects of relay inter-cropping summer cover crops with maize on cover crop biomass and maize yields in a warm-temperate region of South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: F.S. Murungu --- Department of Agriculture, South Africa C. Chiduza --- Department of Agronomy, South Africa P. Muchaonyerwa --- Department of Agronomy, South AfricaLittle research attention has been given to growing summer cover crops as part of conservation agriculture systems. Three cover crops (sorghum [Sorghum bicolor], mucuna [Mucuna pruriens] and sunhemp [Crotalaria juncea]) were relay-intercropped into maize [Zea mays] 42 days after planting... -

Early-maturing maize (Zea mays L. cv. Suwan1) and Tephrosia bracteolata Guill. and Perr. (tephrosia), Lablab purpureus (L.)... -
Weed management in sugarcane using a combination of imazapyr followed by velvet bean as a break crop
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: Peta L Campbell --- South African Sugarcane Research Institute, South Africa Richard P Beckett --- School of Life Sciences, South Africa Graeme W Leslie --- Simbithi Estate, South AfricaWhile farmers have used glyphosate to control the growth of weeds such as Cynodon dactylon (cynodon) in sugarcane fields for many years, its use has problems which include poor persistence in the soil and the development of tolerance. Here the... -
