An indigenous cash crop, called honeybush (Cyclopia spp., Fabaceae), has recently gained popularity in the Western Cape of South Africa and its potential for cultivation is being investigated. The crop is an N²-fixing legume and its yields would therefore be improved by enhancing its N²-fixing capacity. This would allow increased tea yields without the need for chemical fertilizers, promoting the crop's status as an organically farmed health product, limiting the environmental degradation associated with N fertilizer use and benefiting small-scale farmers in the region who cannot afford chemical fertilizers. 2014-08-13T14:13:50Z 2014-08-13T14:13:50Z 2004 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6215 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
