Assessment of maize germplasm lines for genetic diversity, cultivar superiority and combining ability.
(2012)Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop in the world; however, its yield is compromised by new production challenges leading to poor yield in sub-Saharan Africa. This calls for a need to enhance maize adaptation to changing ... -
Genetic and environmental factors affecting rooting in Eucalyptus grandis X Eucalyptus longirostrata hybrid cuttings.
(2011)In clonal deployment programmes of plantation species, there is frequently the need to deploy Eucalyptus species and interspecific hybrids as rooted cuttings. However, the rooting ability of a particular species or hybrid ... -
Investigation of growth potential of alternative eucalyptus species for mid and high altitude sites in the summer rainfall region in South Africa.
(2008)A study was undertaken to compare growth potential of three Eucalyptus species of natural origin in South Eastern Australia, with commercially grown species on mid and high altitude temperate sites in the summer rainfall ... -
A quantitative study on growth, basic wood density and pulp yield in a breeding population of Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake, grown in KwaZulu-Natal.
(2008)The first objective of this study was to evaluate Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake provenances in terms of their growth, basic wood density and pulp yield properties. The second objective was to determine the genetic and ... -
Responses of ten soybean [ glycine max (L.) merrill] genotypes for yield and nodulation to trichoderma and silicon applications.
(2012)A study was conducted to determine the responses of 10 selected soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes to potassium silicate (KSi) and Trichoderma harzianum (Eco-T®) applications. Preliminary studies involving two independent ...
