Abstract:

Agriculture plays an important role as the basis of economic development of many countries. One of the ingredients for accelerating agricultural development is the provision of adequate knowledge through education. Schools where agricultural science is taught play an important role, but the problem that gave rise to this study is the lacking interest and poor performance in agricultural science. The main aim of this study was to investigate factors that may influence the choice of agricultural science as a school subject. In order to attain this aim, six high schools in the Temba District were

Local programs integrated individual problem -solving, practical applications of mathematics and technical science skills in to the curriculum. However, recent financial constraints and a perceived lack of interest have led to reductions in course offerings in agricultural mechanics in some universities that are responsible for the maintenance and future of the disciplinary area.

In this thesis, we explore the issue of latent correlation structure in spatial and other correlated systems. Firstly, we propose a class of prior distributions on decomposable graphs, allowing for improved modeling flexibility. While existing methods solely penalize the number of edges, the proposed work empowers practitioners to control clustering, level of separation, and other features of the graph. Emphasis is placed on a particular prior distribution which derives its motivation from the class of product partition models; the properties of this prior relative to existing priors is examin

The power struggle among policy negotiators with incompatible belief systems resulted in a political correction of biotechnology.

Nitrate contamination of surface and groundwater has become a serious concern in many agricultural areas throughout the world. The major source of nitrate contamination is believed to be nitrogen fertilizer from agricultural fields. Best Management Practices have been developed to guide fertilizer use and minimize nitrogen losses, but do not address control of nitrate movement from the crop root zone. It is proposed that an in-situ method, electrokinetics (EK), could be used to control nitrate movement, retaining it near the root zone. Lysimeter experiments were conducted to evaluate the effec
