Biofertilizers and sustainable agriculture: exploring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(SpringerSpringer, 2017)Worldwide agricultural food production has to double in 2050 so as to feed the global increasing population while reducing dependency on conventional chemical fertilizers plus pesticides. To accomplish this objective, there ... -
Inhibition of photosystem II activities in soybean (Glycine max) genotypes differing in chilling sensitivity
(Elsevier, 2014)Due to chilling sensitivity, minimum night temperatures represent the main constraint in soybean production in South Africa. In vivo quantification of photosystem II (PSII) function by direct chlorophyll fluorescence ... -
Nematode pests of leguminous and oilseed crops
(Springer, 2017)Sunflower ranks first among the legume and oilseed crops produced in South Africa, followed by soybean. The production of Bambara groundnut, cowpea, dry bean, groundnut and lupin is practised on a much smaller scale. The ... -
South Africa: an important soybean producer in sub-Saharan Africa and the quest for managing nematode pests of the crop
(MDPI, 2020)With an increase in the global population, a protein-rich crop like soybean can help manage food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The expansion of soybean production in recent years lead to increased land requirements ... -
Terrestrial non-parasitic nematode assemblages associated with glyphosate-tolerant and conventional soybean-based cropping systems
(Exeley, 2018)Information about the effects of glyphosate on nematodes is limited and contradictory, while none existing for South African agricultural fields. The abundance and identity of non-parasitic nematodes in the rhizospheres ...
