Effects of phenolics in sorghum grain on its bitterness, astringency and other sensory properties.
(Wiley, 2007-06-12)Despite the fact that condensed tannins are potentially important antioxidants, there is a general belief that tannins in sorghum confer objectionable sensory attributes. The objective of this study was to determine ... -
Effects of plant density on growth parameters and yield of sugar bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Swaziland
(Botswana University of Agriculture & Natural Resources, 2005)Field bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) consumed in Swaziland is mostly imported. Small- scale farmers can grow this crop in the country and obtain good yields if the correct planting density is identified. A field study ... -
Effects of plant population on growth, development and oil yield of safflower (Carthamus tinctorious L.)
