Effect of phosphorus on the growth yield and nutrient uptake of intercropped maize( Zea mays (L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) walp)
(Botswana University of Agriculture & Natural Resources, 2016-06)
In addition to low soil moisture and its holding capacity, constraints to arable agricultural
production in Botswana include low levels of nutrients, especially phosphorus. The objectives
of the study were to determine ...
Effect of soil water deficit on water use efficiency of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp)
(Botswana University of Agriculture & Natural Resources, 2016-09)
There is a global concern over the capacity to feed a rapidly growing world population against a background of climate change which challenges productivity of major crops such as cowpea and their ability to ensure food ...
Comparison of genetic and immunological responses to tick infestation between three breeds of sheep in South Africa
(University of the Free State, 2016-01)
The study investigated genetic parameters and immunological responses to tick infestation in three South African sheep breeds (Namaqua Afrikaner [NA], Dorper and SA Mutton Merino [SAMM]). The study aimed to estimate genetic ...
Pearl millet : influence of mineral biofortification and simple processing technologies on minerals and antinutrients
(University of Pretoria, 2016)
Pearl millet is an important staple food in rural Africa. However, the mineral bioavailability of pearl millet is low due to its high content of antinutrients, particularly phytate. This research investigated the effects ...
Effects of storage temperature and hot water treatment duration on chilling injury and quality of mango (Mangifera indica L.)
(Botswana University of Agriculture & Natural Resources, 2016-08)
Low temperature storage is the most effective method of extending postharvest life and marketing period, and maintain fruit quality because it retards physiological processes such as respiration, ethylene production, ...
