Effect of variable rates of cattle and poultry manure-based phospho-composts on growth, yield and quality of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Mmadi, Mashupyane Josephine (2019)

Phosphorus (P) deficiency has been reported in 30- 40% of global arable land, which poses a huge threat in potato production because of its critical role in the early vegetative development and tuber formation. The use of ...
Efffects of various fertiliser materials on growth, yield and nutritional quality of three tomato varieties

Mahlatji, Maphotle Baatseba (2019)

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most popular and widely consumed vegetable crops all over the world. They play a vital role in human diet and good sources of vitamins and minerals. However, low soil fertility ...
Evaluation of dryland maize / pigeonpea intercropping under variable phosphorus application rates

Nndwambi, F. H. (University of Limpopo, 2015)

Information on the performance of the maize and pigeonpea intercropping system under dryland conditions of South Africa is scanty. The aim of this study was to determine the optimum P level and productivity of pigeonpea ...
Greenhouse evaluation of maize performance and changes in chemical properties of soil following application of winery solid waste composts

Masowa, Manare Maxson (University of Limpopo, 2015)

Winery solid waste materials namely, wine filter materials (FM), grape marc (berry stalks, skins and seeds) and chopped grapevine pruning canes were composted in heaps through a thermophilic process. The filter materials ...
Growth, nodulation and yield response of promiscuous and non-promiscuous soybean cultivars to inoculation in different soil types under classhouse and field conditions

Maphosa, T. M.; Maphosa, Tsakani Maria (University of Limpopo, 2015-03)

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is considered to be an important grain legume and an oil crop. It is also important in livestock feeding and improvement of soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). Until ...
Microbial population dynamics, enzyme activity and quantification of nutrient release in soil amended with composed with varying degree of maturity

Shikwambana, Sydney (University of Limpopo, 2015)

The activity and functional diversity of micro-organisms contribute to the stability and productivity of agro-ecosystems. Soil micro-organisms and enzyme activities have been suggested as potential indicators of soil ...
Mineralisation and bioavailability of phosphorus from poultry manure and sewage sludge-based phospho-composts for maize production

Chauke, Rhandu (University of Limpopo (Turfloop Campus), 2014)

Phospho-composts of different mix ratios (5:5, 7:3, 8:2 and 9:1) were produced through thermophilic co-composting of poultry manure (PM) and sewage sludge (SS) with ground phosphate rock (GPR). Composted PM and SS without ...
Phosphorus release characteristics and quantification of microbial population at different stages of phospho-compost production

Mokase, Tsakani Joyce (University of Limpopo, 2016)

This study aimed at assess phosphorus (P) solubility and bioavailability from non-reactive Phalaborwa ground phosphate rock (GPR) using thermophilic co-composting technology. Two types of organic wastes (Cattle, CM and ...
Physico-chemical and biological characterization of soils from selected farmlands around three mining sites in Phalaborwa, Limpopo Province

Ramahlo, Masetle Nelson (University of Limpopo (Turfloop Campus), 2013)

The study was conducted to assess the impact of mining activities on selected soil physical, chemical and microbial properties on farmlands around three selected mining sites. Nine soil samples were collected from each of ...
Physico-chemical characterization and spatial variability of soils in the research block at University of Limpopo Experimental Farm

Phefadu, Kopano Conferance (University of Limpopo, 2015)

There exists a considerable level of spatial variability in soil physical and chemical properties within the research block; and the soils are generally shallow. Of all the measured parameters, electrical conductivity, ...
Response of cowpea to variable rates and methods of zinc application under rainfed and supplementary irrigation conditions

Moswatsi, Mabore Sele (2015)

Agronomic field trial was planted at two sites, Ukulima and Syferkuil, in Limpopo Province, to determine the response of cowpea to variable rates and methods of zinc application under supplementary irrigation and rainfed ...
Response of growth, yield and root characteristics of a determinate cowpea variety to variable phosphorus fertiliser and lime application rates

Maphoto, Patrina Nare (2018)

Soil acidity is one of the abiotic stress factors that greatly limit the productivity of crops on farmers’ fields. A greenhouse study was carried out over two summer growing seasons to evaluate the effect of lime and ...
Response of selected cowpea lines to low soil phosphorus and moisture stress conditions at Ukulima Farm in Limpopo Province

Thosago, Setshele Standford (University of Limpopo, 2015)

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is an important grain legume grown in many parts of the world mostly by smallholder (SH) farmers. Low soil phosphorus (P) and drought stress are major constraints to legume production ...
Selection of IBM population inbred lines with improved root architectural traits and stem diameter that can enable them to tolerate nitrogen and phosphorus stresses

Shaku, Manchidi Melda (2018)

Two experiments were conducted at Ukulima Root Biology Centre, Waterberg district in Limpopo Province (24°32'58.1"S, 28°06'21.1"E) during 2013-2014 cropping season to select IBM population inbred lines with improved root ...
