Book Description
The agricultural potential of the different magisterial distriescts in the highveld region is described in terms of dryland agronomic and livestock production. The region comprises 48 magisterial districts that are divided into 57 reasonably homogeneous farming with the aid of land-type information. Expected long-term yields for maize, grain sorghum, sunflower, wheat, dry beans, groundnus and potatoes were accoding to an optium crop pattern for reasonably homogeneous farming areas on a magisterial distriet basis with the aid of recognised yield formulas. The production potential was calculated according to the stocking rate for potential for reasonably homogneneous farming areas, on magisterial district basic, in terms of large stock units.
