Analysis of spray aid's residue curve for timing fungicide applications for grey leaf spot on maize (2005)
Journal Article
van Rij, N. C., Quinn, N., Caldwell, P. M., & Savage, M. J. (2005). Analysis of spray aid's residue curve for timing fungicide applications for grey leaf spot on maize. South African Journal of Plant and Soil, 22(3), 145-148. https://doi.org/10.1080/02571862.2005.10634697

Maize grey leaf spot is still a problem in commercial maize production, although the effect has been reduced with the widespread use of resistant varieties. It is estimated that, with a yield reduction of 1 %, annual economic losses of R5.6 million f...

Economic analysis of the eradication and management of invasive alien vegetation in the Mhlatuze River Catchment (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) (2002)
Journal Article
Cooper, J., Schroenn, J., & Quinn, N. (2002). Economic analysis of the eradication and management of invasive alien vegetation in the Mhlatuze River Catchment (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa). South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences, 5(2), 452-472. https://doi.org/10.4102/sajems.v5i2.2685

Alien invasive vegetation threatens the functioning and existence of natural ecosystems in South Africa because many of these plants have no predators or competitors, allowing them to dominate the ecosystem which they inhabit. The rapid proliferation... Read More about Economic analysis of the eradication and management of invasive alien vegetation in the Mhlatuze River Catchment (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa).
