Bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass is seen as an alternative source
of energy. However, large-scale production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic
biomass is still not feasible due to the high cost of ...
Soybean is one of the most cultivated legume plants in developing countries. Nodule senescence is a major limitation in producing high yields of soybean as it coincides with the pod filling stage. Delaying nodule senescence ...
The study focuses on Extension 44 in the Polokwane, an exclusively Black urban Township defined as a liveable geographical space consisting of both activity and awareness space (perpetual) space. Central to this research ...
Selapa, Ngoako William(University of Limpopo (Turfloop Campus), 2006)
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for weekly body weight of feed intake of individually fed beef bulls at centralized testing stations in South Africa using random regression models (RRM). The ...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major public health problems nowadays in Africa.
From prospective studies, it is also known that risk factors for CVDs start early in life
and increase morbidity and mortality in ...
Background
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an increasing challenge globally, and is estimated to affect 439 million adults by 2030. This estimate is linked to an unhealthy lifestyle with characteristics such as low ...
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is recognised as the most notorious invasive species the world-over. Although its threats and effects are fully documented, its distribution is not yet understood, especially in complex ...
Water pollution associated with dyes and bacteria has become a concern to researchers due to lack of quality sanitation. South Africa falls amongst the water scarce countries. Thus, it is important to develop materials ...
Water contamination caused by toxic elements has serious human health and
ecological implications. The increasing quantity of toxic elements in surface and
groundwater is currently an area of greater concern, especially ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Soil health support crop production and answer to its sustainability and renewability. This study involved the use of under explored legumes in South Africa, Limpopo under maizelegume intercropping systems as a strategy ...
High yield losses in various crops due to plant-parasitic nematodes are associated with high initial nematode population densities (Pi). Uses of synthetic nematicides to reduce Pi were dependent on the physiological effect ...
Tseke, Pontsho Edmund(University of Limpopo, 2013)
Two phytonematicides were researched and developed from fermented crude extracts
of wild watermelon (Cucumis africanus) and wild cucumber (Cucumis myriocarpus)
fruits for use as alternatives to methyl bromide in managing ...
Maile, Kgahliso Desmond(University of Limpopo (Turfloop Campus), 2013)
The ground leaching technology (GLT) system, using crude extracts of wild cucumber (Cucumis myriocarpus) and wild watermelon (Cucumis africanus) fruits, had been widely researched and developed in management ...
