Apple Peel Biochemical Changes after Foliar Application of Combined Boron and Calcium I. Phenolics and Physico-Chemical Attributes
Mwije, Anthony; Lotze, Elmi; Hoffman, E W (Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-06-30)Post-full bloom foliar applications of boron in combination with calcium (B+Ca) suppress fruit sunburn-browning incidence in apples (Malusdomestica). However, the mode-of-action is not yet explained and hence, protocols ... -
Apple Peel Biochemical Changes after Foliar Application of Combined Boron and Calcium II. Photosynthetic Pigments, Total Peroxides and Photochemical Efficiency
Mwije, Anthony; Lotze, Elmi; Hoffman, E W (Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-06-30)Understanding of the physiological effect of post-full-bloom foliar boron combined with calcium (B+Ca) on apple (Malus domestica) peel tissues is envisaged to give way to the unknown mode-of-action by which these mineral ... -
Heritability analysis of drought adaptation traits in sweet potato.
Mwije, Anthony (Makerere University, 2014)Sweet potato is a key food security crop in Uganda whose per capita consumption is third to bananas and cassava. Drought is among the major constraints to sweet potato production in Uganda. A part from decreasing tuber ... -
A Study of the Dynamics of Sunburn Reduction in Apple (Malus domestica) using Foliar Applications of a Combination of Boron and Calcium
Mwije, Anthony (Stellenbosch University, 2020-03)Apple fruit sunburn browning (SBB) is largely a climate-related disorder that reduces fruit quality leading to serious financial losses. The aim of this research was to unravel the mode-of-action by which post-full-bloom ...
