Synergistic effects of mixtures of fungicides and medicinal plant extracts against Botrytis cinerea
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
We hypothesize that South African medicinal plants contain compounds that can act in synergism with synthetic antifungal compounds. Four fungicides - Sporekill™, Rovral™,
Terminator™ and Teldor™ at doses 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and ...
Identification of quantitative trait loci control l ing the requirement for chilling in vegetative budbreak in apple (malus x domestica borkh.)
(2008)
The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) has been distributed into diverse climatic conditions worldwide for commercial production of fruit. Apple trees need exposure to cold temperatures, referred to as chill ...
Hydrosalinity fluxes in a small scale catchment of the berg river (Western Cape)
(2008)
The objective of this study was to determine the hydrosalinity fluxes associated with overland and subsurface (vadose zone) flow for different soils and land uses. For this purpose, the following data were collected during ...
Electrical resistivity of the kondo systems (Ce1−xREx)In3, RE = Gd, Tb, Dy AND Ce(Pt1−xNix)Si2
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The present study investigates the strength of the hybridization by substituting Ce atom in Kondo lattice CeIn3 with Gd, Tb, and Dy and by changing the chemical environment around the Ce atom in substituting Pt with Ni in ...
Market segmentation and factors affecting stock returns on the JSE
(2008)
This study examines the relationship between stock returns and market segmentation. Monthly returns of stocks listed on the JSE from 1997-2007 are analysed using mostly the analytic factor and cluster analysis techniques. ...
Digital watermarking methods for data security and authentication
