    The role of seed-borne inoculum levels in the development of common bean blight disease (Xanhomonas Axonopodis PV. Phaseoli) on bean in Zimbabwe under smallholder farming systems and evaluation of alternative control methods based on Botanical extracts 

    Makeredza, Brian (2014-06-26)
    Field trials were conducted in 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 rainy seasons in Chinyika Resettlement Area (CRA) to determine seed inoculum threshold levels for Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) the causative pathogen ...

    Effect of reduced feeding allowances on the nitrogen retention and growth of indigenous pigs 

    Musamba, Shingai Liberty (2014-06-26)
    The effect of reduced feeding allowances for pigs was investigated in two trials. Trial 1 was aimed at evaluating the effect of graded levels of energy on the nitrogen balance and growth performance of Mukota pigs. Graded ...

    Assessing the spectral separability of flue cured tobacco varieties established on different planting dates and under varying fertilizer management levels 

    Svotwa, Ezekia; Masuka, Anxious J.; Maasdorp, Barbara; Murwira, Amon (Hindawi, 2014)
    The NDVI was used to discriminate tobacco variety, assess fertilizer levels, and determine the impact of planting date on separating crops. A split plot design with four planting dates, September, October, November, and ...

    Impact of Nematode pest management strategies on Nematode communities in tomato production systems in Zimbabwe 

    Massawe, Cornel R.S. (2014-05-23)
    An analysis of soil nematode communities can be a useful tool for assessing the quality of soils and for the development of biological monitoring systems due to their intimate relationship of nematodes with their surrounding ...

    A study of the effects of pruning and deheading on the flowering behaviour of Leucospermum cv. Scarlet Ribbon and Leucospermum Saxosum 

    Mahenga, Gaudencia Tichaidza (2014-06-27)
    Leucospermum plants have a relatively short flowering period and peak flowering periods often coincide with low prices on the export market. Two field trials were therefore carried out at Pinfields farm Ruwa, Zimbabwe ...

    Crop Residue Management and Termite Prevelance Under Conservation Agriculture in Zimbabwe 

    Mutsamba, Eleanor F (2014-04-24)
    The challenge of maintaining a permanent soil cover using crop residues under conservation agriculture (CA) among smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe is mainly attributed to competing uses such as livestock grazing the residues. ...

    Soil organic matter dynamics and crop productivity as affected by organic resource quality and management practices on smallholder farms 

    Mtambanengwe, Florence (2014-06-26)
    Crop productivity in low-input agricultural systems is largely a function of the soil’s capacity to hold and release nutrients in soil organic matter (SOM). Although sandy soils on most Zimbabwean smallholder farms ...

    Effects of soil fertility management practices on selected soil physical properties, water use efficiency and crop productivity in Murewa smallholder farming area 

    Dunjana, Nothando (2014-06-26)
    Several studies have been conducted to restore the fertility of degraded soils in sub-Saharan Africa using combinations of inorganic and organic fertilizers. The studies mainly concentrated on nutrient uptake and balances ...
