Assessing the spectral separability of flue cured tobacco varieties established on different planting dates and under varying fertilizer management levels
(Hindawi, 2014-01-24)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 ... -

The effect of managing improved fallows of Mucuna pruriens on maize production and soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics in sub-humid Zimbabwe
(2004-01-22)Mucuna pruriens has emerged as a successful forage or green manure legume for use in the smallholder animallivestock systems of Zimbabwe. The efficiency of N recovery from mucuna residues in subsequent maize crops can ... -
Remote sensing applications in tobacco yield estimation and the recommended research in Zimbabwe
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-10-28)Tobacco crop area and yield forecasts are important in stabilizing tobacco prices at the auction floors. Tobacco yield estimation in Zimbabwe is currently based on statistical surveys and ground-based field reports.These ... -

Spectral indices: in-season dry mass and yield relationship of flue-cured tobacco under different planting dates and fertiliser levels
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-08-13)This experiment investigated the relationship between tobacco canopy spectral characteristics and tobacco biomass. A completely randomized design, with plantings on the 15th of September, October, November, and December, ... -
