Infiltration, runoff and particle mobilization on canola fields at langgewens experimental farm, Mooreesburg, Western Cape
(2013)The primary origin of this project is due to a high demand for freshwater supply in the Berg Water Management Area (WMA). Most of the Berg WMA`s freshwater supply does not live up to the high ecological standards. This is ... -
Influence of a selected endophyte consortium on salinity responses in Medicago sativa
(University of Western Cape, 2022)Salinity is one of the major limiting factors to crop production, which consequently contributes to the risk of reduced food security. Among other factors, food security depends on availability of sufficient and nutritious ... -
The influence of canopy cover and cultivar on rates of water use in apple orchards in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Water availability and climate related issues are some of the greatest crop production risks to irrigated agriculture in arid regions. In South Africa, for example, the increasing frequency and severity of droughts related ... -
