Genotypic variation in water use efficiency, gaseous exchange and yield of four cassava landraces grown under rainfed conditions in South Africa

Malele, Kgetise Petros (2020-08-20)

Agricultural production under rain-fed conditions is largely dependent on the availability of water stored in the soil during rainfall events. The production of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) under rain-fed conditions ...
Multi-Location Field Evaluation of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna Subterranean (L) Verdc) for Agronomic Performance and Seed Protein.

Mogale, Tlou Elizabeth (2018-05-18)

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is one of the most important legumes cultivated primarily for food by smallholder farmers in Africa. It is an affordable source of protein and contributes to income generation as ...
