The South Africa Maize Market is expected to reach USD 2.52 billion in 2024 and grow at a CAGR of 4% to reach USD 3.06 billion by 2029. The report offers latest trends, size, share, and industry overview.
In 2005–2007, a field study was conducted into intercropping of maize with faba bean at Pawlowice research station, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences. The main aim of the multi-year field research was an investigation into the reacti
"Cabinet takes this opportunity to reassure the nation that, despite the decline in production owing to the vagaries of the weather, there is, however, enough maize in stock. "Also, the recent rains have resulted in better output in the late-planted crops. The results will only be apparent...
1). Agriculture is dominantly rain-fed in all three regions, but farmers use irrigation in pocket areas to produce vegetables. The rainfall is erratic and dry spells are common causing production shocks. The soils in northern Ghana have low fertility with organic matter content of < 20 g/kg,...

For this purpose, we examined the effects of P and Zn fertilization individually and in combination on growth, yield and grain protein content in maize grown in pots filled with three different Mediterranean soils (LCV, FER and INM). Phosphorus and Zn translocation to grain was impaired, and ...
The cultivation of shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) is increasing rapidly in Bangladesh due to its nutritional and medicinal importance with excellent flavor and longer shelf life. With the aim of increased production, we have cultivated L. edodes on saw dust (SD) supplemented with different leve...
Thus, mitigating the environmental impact of N fertilizer consumption while increasing crop production to feed the rising population is the major challenge faced by current and future agriculture. Given the situation, the use of fertilizers, particularly N-based ones in intensive crop production systems...
