Abstract: | The present paper outlines the work currently in progress in Rhodesia on the mapping of the major soil groups within the intensive farming regions (Natural Region II) and the calculation of crop yields by soil type. The arable land percentage for each soil type is assessed from an analysis of farm plans. Based on sound crop rotation practices, the annual cropping areas and crop yield potential is estimated for each group of Intensive Conservation Areas within National Region II. Ref., tab. |
