Essential metal and metalloid elements in the Philippi Horticultural area, and their uptake into selected vegetable crops
Malan, Marÿke; Muller, Francuois; Raitt, Lincoln; Cyster, Lilburne; Brendonck, Luc (Taylor & Francis, 2018)This study evaluated Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Se, Sn and V status in the soils of the PHA, as well as the vegetables produced on these soils. We also determined the agronomic sources of these elements to the soils in the PHA. ... -
Morphological and physiological responses of Calobota sericea plants subjected to water limitation and subsequent rewatering
Müller, Francuois; Raitt, Lincoln; Cyster, Lilburne (Taylor and Francis Group, 2021)Calobota sericea is a native legume of South Africa, confined to the water-limited rangelands, and it has recently been prioritised for additional characterisation regarding its pasture potential. In this study, we examined ... -
Nitrogen fertilization increases the growth and nutritional quality of the forage legume, Calobota sericea – A preliminary investigation
Britz, Ethan; Cyster, Lilburne; Samuels, Igshaan (Elsevier, 2023)Calobota sericea is being evaluated as a forage for drought stressed areas. The nutritional quality of C. sericea from native populations are poor, and this is believed to be due to poor soil fertility. Therefore, a ... -
