Evaluation of maize yield in flood recession farming in the Okavango Delta, Botswana

Abstract: Flood recession farming locally known as molapo farming in the Okavango Delta is practiced along the edges of the river channels or seasonally flooded depressions on its fringes. It relies on residual moisture and natural fertilization of the floodplains, and is promoted as being more productive than dryland farming. However, the productivity of this low-input farming system has not been extensively investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the yield potential of hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) in m… Show more

“…This study demonstrates the effects of environmental stresses on plant physiological characteristics, β-expansins expression, and IgE reactivity to major rice pollen allergens. The visible changes in plant growth, development, and productivity, including plant height, as well as number of anthers and pollen grains resulting from either flood, salt, or drought stresses is consistent with previous studies (46)(47)(48). The changes in physiological characteristics of rice and maize were indicative of mild-to-moderate stress as intended by the stress treatments (49,50).…”
