Mvumi, Culver; Marais, D. (Diana); Ngadze, Elizabeth; Du Toit, Elsa Sophia; Tsindi, Albert (Taylor and Francis and NISC (Pty) Ltd, 2018)Tomato is often exposed to hormones and diseases, among other factors, to which responses in leaf anatomy and yield are observed. This study evaluated responses in the leaf anatomy of Alternaria solani infected (IN) and ...
-
Mathobo, Rudzani; Marais, D. (Diana) (Southern Cross Publishing Group, 2017)Dry bean is the second most important legume crop in South Africa due to its high protein content. GGE- Biplot was used to evaluate genotype x environment interaction (GEI) and stability performance of dry bean genotypes ...
