Modelling Plant Responses to Sulphate and Chloride Salinity: Integrating Ion-Specific Physiology with Quantitative Crop-Response Frameworks

M. F. Dlamini, M. P. Mabuza & K. K. Nxumalo · Asian Plant Research Journal · 2026

Salinity models used in crop science commonly describe stress through bulk electrical conductivity, osmotic potential, or a single empirical salinity index. This simplification is operationally useful, but it can conceal biologically important differences between chloride- and su...

Effects of Plant Density and Planting Pattern on Growth and Seed Yield of Groundnuts [Arachis hypogaea (l.)] in the Wet Middleveld of Eswatini

N. Magagula, M. P. Mabuza & N. Zubuko · Asian Plant Research Journal · 2020

The most appropriate plant density and planting pattern to use for optimum growth and yield of groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Eswatini among those currently used is not known, as the patterns are highly influenced by environmental conditions in specific regions. A field tria...
