Muzawazi, H.D. (Hazvibvi); Terblanche, S.E. (Stephanus Esaias), 1940-; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper (South African Society for Agricultural Extension, 2017)Drought is the most important climate shock affecting rural farmers this century. In a bid to reduce the effects of climate shocks, coping strategies are being investigated. Community gardens is one such strategy. The ...

Mndela, Mthunzi; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nherera-Chokuda, Florence; Dube, Sikhalazo (Elsevier, 2019-09)Soil seed bank is a reservoir for passive restoration of rangelands following bush clearance. This study was conducted to assess the effects of bush clearance on the seed bank size, composition, diversity and relationship ...

Mndela, Mthunzi; Tjelele, Julius T.; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Mangwane, Mziwanda; Samuels, Igshaan M.; Muller, Francuois; Pule, Hosia T. (SpringerOpen, 2022-08-26)BACKGROUND : Atmospheric CO2 may double by the year 2100, thereby altering plant growth, photosynthesis, leaf nutrient contents and water relations. Specifcally, atmospheric CO2 is currently 50% higher than pre-industrial ...

Mndela, Mthunzi; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nherera-Chokuda, Florence; Dube, Sikhalazo (SpringerOpen, 2020-01-30)BACKGROUND : Bush clearing of encroached rangelands is crucial for restoration of herbaceous cover and diversity. Regeneration after bush clearing depends largely on the soil seed bank (SSB) size and composition. To assess ...

Mndela, Mthunzi; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nherera-Chokuda, Florence V.; Dube, Sikhalazo; Ramoelo, Abel; Mangwane, Mziwanda; Tjelele, Julius T. (SpringerOpen, 2022-04-08)Bush thickening reduces herbaceous species diversity and forage production, leading to a decline in grazing capacity. Hence, altering the micro-climate and woody-grass competition in bush-encroached rangelands using bush ...

Mavunganidze, Zira; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Nyamangara, Justice; Mafongoya, Paramu; Mashingaidze, Nester (Wiley, 2020-10)Understanding drivers of weed density and diversity is essential for the development of weed management strategies. Here, we compared temporal changes in weed density and diversity under no-till (NT) and conventional (CONV) ...

Mashingaidze, Nester; Twomlow, Stephen; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Mupangwa, W.; Mavunganidze, Zira (Wiley, 2017-06)Conservation agriculture (CA) is thought to reduce weed pressure from the third year of adoption, when recommended practices are followed. Weed growth and crop yield were assessed during the third and fourth year of ...

Baker, Conrad; Madakadze, Ignacio Casper; Swanepoel, Corrie M.; Mavunganidze, Zira (Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor & Francis Group) and NISC (Pty) Ltd, 2018)Conservation agriculture (CA) is a sustainable management system that optimises yield while reducing input costs. However, reduction in tillage intensity and frequency as practised under CA generally alters weed densities ...
