Two experiments were completed to determine the influence of season/year and species on forage quality of Indigofera accessions. In Experiment 1, leaf material was collected from five Indigofera species (i.e., I. amorphoides, I. arrecta, I. brevicaly

The effects of moisture stress were evaluated in four Indigofera species (I. amorphoides, I. arrecta, I. coerulea and I. vicioides) using a pot experiment under glasshouse conditions. The aim was to examine the influence of moisture-deficit stress on

The investigation was conducted on an area covered by a dense stand of Hardwickia mopane (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae). Seven plots (65×180 m) were subjected to different intensities of tree thinning, ranging from a totally cleared plot (0%) to pl

On an area covered by dense stands of Colophospermum mopane with little or no grass cover, ten sites were randomly selected. In the centre of each site, a core (monolith) of soil (2.0m×0.5m×1.0m deep) was excavated and removed in 5 layers of 200mm.

Whereas cultivation had a detrimental effect on the production of Eragrostis curvula established in broadcast stands, both manuring and mulching had beneficial effects. This effect may be ascribed largely to better moisture conditions achieved with m

Eight camps, grazed annually during different seasons by steers, were surveyed. Herbaceous species were grouped into Decreaser and Increaser categories according to their reaction to grazing. The Increaser IIa (light overgrazing) and IIb (moderate ov

A technique to quantify available above‐ground phytomass of grass tufts in defoliation studies is described. Highly significant correlations were found between tuft volume and above‐ground phytomass in eighteen out of twenty‐two species that we
