Gauteng farmers’market strategies of Indigenous Leafy Vegetables post COVID-19 outbreak
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Indigenous Leafy Vegetables (ILVs) have a high economic potential but there is little information on how to market them. Marketing strategies, how individuals seek information, communication and purchasing of goods have ... -
A gendered approach to climate smart agriculture adoption by smallholder farmers in Malawi and Zambia
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The negative impacts of climate change on smallholder agrarian livelihoods in developing countries will be devastating, threatening to negate even the development gains made thus far, while offering opportunities for ... -
A gendered approach to drought coping mechanisms : a case of the Lubombo Region, Swaziland
(North-West University, 2018)In the Lubombo region of Swaziland, one-third (300 000) of Swazis are living through the devastating impacts of drought on both their livelihoods and the environment they depend on. Drought, which has become recurrent, ... -
Gendered approach toward Disaster Risk Reduction: case study of Chobe District, Botswana
(North-West University, 2019)Available research shows an increase in the frequency and intensity of weather and climate-related hazards across the globe. This trend is leading to an increase in the occurrence of disasters and heightened disaster risk, ... -
Generation of a set of SA11 expression plasmids for the development of a T7-RNA polymerase-dependent rotavirus reverse genetic system
(North-West University, 2018)Rotavirus (RV) is a member of the family Reoviridae which contains a segmented double-stranded RNA genome comprised of 11 double-stranded RNA genome segments. Rotavirus is still the leading cause of severe diarrhoea worldwide ... -
A generic framework for promoting the implementation of environmental management systems at local government level in South Africa
(North-West University, 2005)Global environmental problems have been manifesting themselves at such an alarming rate, that the international community decided at the Rio Conference in 1992 that these global problems must inter aha also be attended to ... -
Generic source term determination for tailings storage facilities in the East Rand Basin
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)The prolonged leaching of gold tailings is a continuous concern in the East Rand Basin typically resulting in acid generation and the release of elements. The leachable constituents from the tailings influences the water ... -
The genesis and geological environment of the Bushveld magnetite in the area southwest of the Lulu mountains

Genetic diversity and nitrogen fixation in underutilized tropical legumes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Legumes in some cases are underutilized and form only a relatively small proportion of human diets. In general they fix atmospheric nitrogen which may provide an economic advantage for smallholder farmers. By appropriate ... -
Genetic diversity of Vetiver clones (Chrysopogon zizanioides and Chrysopogon nigritana) available in South Africa based on sequencing analyses and anatomical structure
(2014)Vetiver grass or Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty (1960) is a sterile grass which can regenerate vegetatively from clumps of the rootstock. This, as well as its vigorous and deep root system and flood tolerance makes ... -
Genetic evaluation of growth and reproductive performance of the Afrikaner Cattle Breed
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)The objective of the current study was to estimate genetic parameters for growth and reproductive traits of the South African Afrikaner cattle population, using different genetic models after accounting for known systematic ... -
Genetic polymorphism of prevalent root nodules bacterial strain from Bambara nut
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)Bambara groundnut is an underutilized crop of good microbial resources in green manure. The knowledge of the true microbial diversity in rhizopheric bacteria of Bambara groundnut is fundamental to effective exploitation ... -
The genetic properties of mature weight and its relationship with early growth traits in Bonsmara breed
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)This study was conducted to evaluate genetic parameters for mature weight and its relationship with early growth traits, to determine whether the recent breeding programs which are directed at improving early growth traits ... -
Genetic studies of Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae)
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)Genetically modified (GM) Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Berliner (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) crops have been adopted widely in many countries around the world due to its success in reducing pest damage to crops and the ... -
Genomic and metabolic investigation of an unknown inborn error of leucine metabolism mimicking MCC deficiency
(North-West University, 2011)This study revolves around a family in which 4 male members have metabolic profiles similar to that of atypical 3–methylcrotonyl–CoA carboxylase (MCC) deficiency, an inborn error of leucine catabolism. This profile consists ... -
The genotoxic effect of gold nanoparticles in cultured human cells
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Gold nanoparticles are ultrafine particles which are being used diversely in the medical field. Despite their versatility, the toxicity research which has been conducted on these particles is incredibly limited as well ... -
