Airborne monitoring system for in-season agriculture : operational considerations and image processing for wide-area sensing
Remote sensing, in particular multispectral imagery, can measure crop health and detect in-season disturbances such as pests and diseases before they are visible to the naked eye, but it is inaccessible to small-plot farmers, especially in developing countries. So-called eExtension services provide …

Evaluation of hay-type and grazing tolerant alfalfa cultivars in season-long or complementary rotational stocking systems for beef cows
… were evaluated on rotationally stocked pastures in either a season-long or complementary system. In 1997, six 2.02 hectare pastures were seeded with smooth bromegrass (SB), a mixture of a grazing tolerant (GT) alfalfa and SB, or a mixture of a hay-type (HT) alfalfa and SB to be used in the …

Investigation of In Season Progression of Tomato spotted wilt virus and its Management in Flue-cured Tobacco Fields of North Carolina
Tomato spotted wilt virus continues to be a serious problem on tobacco production in the southeast United States. The current control recommendation calls for acibenzolar-S-methyl, which is known by growers in North Carolina to have unacceptable phytotoxicity. In an attempt to reduce the amount of …

Winter Annual Cover Crops Interseeded into Soybean in Eastern Virginia: Influence on Soil Nitrogen, Corn Yield, and In-Season Soil Nitrogen Tests
The diverse cropping system of eastern Virginia's coastal plain offers limited opportunity to establish winter annual cover crops (WCC) for nitrogen (N) scavenging. The winter fallow niche after double-crop or full-season soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) encompasses the majority of acres left fallow. …

Isometric hip and groin strength in elite football players: preliminary investigations into the validity and reliability of testing, comparison to a normal population and in-season strength changes.
Hip and groin injuries account for 2-5% of all sporting injuries worldwide. Within elite football they account for 12-16% of all injuries in a season, making them the second most prevalent injury for the sport. Isometric measurement of hip and groin strength is common practice in football and is …

Throwing performance and shoulder injury risk in adolescent male water polo players in South Africa: exploring anthropometric and musculoskeletal parameters and evaluating the impact of a four week in-season conditioning program
using only one hand to interact with the ball at any given time. Consequently, catching and passing predominantly rely on the dominant arm whilst treading water. Although shoulder injuries are common, limited research exists regarding the specific factors that contribute to both sub-acute and …

Effects of green manure cover crops on weed population, peal, millet and maize productivity under conservation agriculture in Liselo and Mashare Namibia
Smallholder farming communities of northern Namibia are generally cash-constrained and theyare situated in marginal areas where poor soil fertility and land degradation are predominant. They find it difficult to purchase mineral fertilizers and herbicides. There is therefore a need to identify …

Effect of genotype and phosphorus fertilizer rates on water use and yield of chickpea
Production of chickpea in South Africa is currently insignificant but local demand is high. There are no recommendations on suitable genotypes of chickpea and agronomic practices at present. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of genotype and phosphorus (P) fertilizer rates on water use and …

Assessment of Spectral Reflectance as Part of a Variable-Rate Nitrogen Management Strategy for Corn
Spectral reflectance-based, remote sensing technology has been used to adjust in-season nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates for wheat to account for spatial variability in grain yield potential at a sub-meter resolution. The objective of this study was to examine the relationships among spectral …

Acute effects and short-term adaptations following different strength and power-oriented resistance training protocols in basketball players
Basketball is a team-sport that incorporates aerobic and anaerobic metabolic processes characterized by intermittent high-intensity actions such as jumping, sprinting, shuffling or changing direction. In the recent years, there has been a clear increase in the physical demand of the competition due …
