Yield and morphological responses of a forage sorghum to mefluidide
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern AfricaDue to rapid growth, stem build‐up in forage sorghum crops often leads to considerable wastage by animals and consequent loss of production. In this study the potential of the chemical plant growth regulator, mefluidide, for modifying the morphology of forage... -
Growth analysis of <em>themeda triandra</em> and <em>sporobolus fimbriatus</em> tillers in semi‐arid grassveld
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern AfricaMarked populations of Themeda triandra and Sporobolus fimbriatus tillers were sequentially harvested at fortnightly intervals both under irrigation and under unamended moisture conditions. Sampling covered a period from tiller initiation through to senescence after flowering. -
Physical and clay mineralogical properties of some Natal and eastern Transvaal soils
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and SoilSoils, collected from the south-eastern Transvaal, Natal north coast and the more arid areas of the Natal interior, were examined using physical, chemical and mineralogical methods. Most of the soils were associated with particular management problems such as poor internal... -
Effect of exchangeable sodium and phosphogypsum on the hydraulic properties of several South African soils
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and SoilThe susceptibility of soils to the deleterious effects of sodicity was assessed for samples which varied with respect to physical, mineralogical and other properties. For this purpose soil samples were collected from different locations in South Africa. The effect of... -
Die rol wat nitraat: ammoniumverhoudings speel in die effektiewe benutting van stikstof by <em>Zea mays</em> L.
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and SoilDie invloed van verskillende nitraat: ammoniumverhoudings by sub- en supra-optimale stikstofkonsentrasies op die opname en benutting van stikstof is ondersoek. Effektiewe stikstofbenutting is in terme van saadopbrengs per eenheid opgeneemde stikstof gemeet. Die beste nitraat: ammoniumverhouding was 3:1 by 100... -
Factors affecting fruit quality and shelf life of Bon Chretien pears
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and SoilBon Chretien pears for canning and the fresh market are grown under various climatic conditions in South Africa. The major orchard factor affecting the shelf life of the fruit after storage seems to be the number of days between full-... -
Invloed van nitraat:ammoniumverhoudings op die ontwikkeling van <em>Zea mays</em> L.
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and SoilDie invloed van drie nitraat:ammoniumverhoudings by twee stikstofkonsentrasies op planteienskappe is met blomtyd en na fisiologiese volwassenheid vir suiwerlyne gemeet. 'n Kwartssandkultuur is as groeimedium in 'n glashuis gebruik. Toenemende NH4 +-verhoudings het planthoogtes, blaaroppervlaktes en droëmateriaalproduksie van verskillende plantkomponente... -
Die relatiewe belang van die vorm en konsentrasie van stikstof in die wortelsone op die ontwikkeling van <em>Zea mays</em> L.
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and SoilDie invloed van ses nitraat:ammoniumverhoudings by 200 mg N l1 in een proef en twee ander verhoudings by 50, 100 en 200 mg N l1 in 'n tweede proef is op droëmateriaalproduksie en stikstofinhoud ondersoek. Die algehele beste behandeling was... -
