Yield and morphological responses of a forage sorghum to mefluidide
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa • Authors: D I Bransby --- , A G Matches --- , USA C R Richardson --- , USADue 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... -
Spruitvorming by mielies: 'n Vergelyking van enkelstammige en spruitvormende plante
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: J.F. Verwey --- Departement Plantproduksie, Republiek van Suid-Afrika P.S. Hammes --- Departement Plantproduksie, Republiek van Suid-AfrikaDie groei en opbrengs van enkelstammige en meerstammige mielieplante uit dieselfde stand is vergelyk om vas te stel wat die effek van spruitvorming hierop is. Spruitontwikkeling het nie 'n wesentlike invloed op planthoogte en blaaroppervlakte van hoofstamme gehad nie. Spruite... -
The effect of plant density on the injuriousness of Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in grain sorghum
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: J. van den Berg --- , Republic of South Africa J. B.J. van Rensburg --- , Republic of South Africa J.H. Giliomee --- Department of Entomology and Nematology, Republic of South AfricaThe influence of five different plant densities on whorl damage, internal damage, tillering and yield of grain sorghum under attack by Busseola fusca was evaluated over two seasons, using artificial infestation of three egg batches (90 eggs) per 5-m row... -
Influence of grazing frequency and intensity on aerial and reproductive tillering in Lolium perenne L. under subtropical conditions
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: F.R. McKenzie --- Department of Grassland Science, Republic of South AfricaReproductive and aerial tillering dynamics in Lolium perenne L. (perennial ryegrass) was monitored for two years under grazing. Reproductive tillers were observed from winter (June) to midsummer (February) with the main period of initiation occurring in spring to early summer...
