Matedza Rural Health Centre 5 RELATED FARMING SYSTEMS 4 Matize Rural Health Centre Region I - Specialized and Diversified Farming: Rainfall in this region is high (more 24 than 1000mm per annum in areas lying below 1700m altitude, and more than 900mm RUWANGWE per annum at greater altitudes), normally with some precipitation in all months of the year. Elim Temperatures are normally comparatively low and the rainfall is consequently highly Mission Hospital affective enabling afforestation, fruit and intensive livestock production to be practiced. In frost-free areas plantation crops such as tea, coffee and macadamia nuts can be RUWANGWE grown, where the mean annual rainfall below 1400mm, supplementary irrigation of these plantation crops is required for top yields. 5 Nyamuzizi Region IIA - Intesive Farming : Rainfall is confined to summer and is moderately Rural Health Centre 28 high (750-1000mm). Two sub-regions have been defined. Sub-region IIA receives an average of at least 18 rainy pentads per season and normally enjoys reliable conditions, rarely experiencing severe dry spells in summer. The region is suitable for intensive systems of farming based on crops and /or livestock production.

Region IIB - Intesive Farming : This sub-region receives an average of 16-18 rainy 1 6 pentads per season and is subject either to rather more severe dry spells during the rainy season or to the occurrence of relatively short rainy seasons. In either event, crop yields in certain years will be affected, but not sufficiently and frequently to change the overall utilization from intensive systems of farming.

Region III - Semi-Intensive Farming : Rainfall in this region is moderate in total 7 amount (650-800mm), but, because much of it is accounted for by infrequent heavy Gotekote Samvure falls and temperatures are generally high, its effectiveness is reduced. This region will Rural Health Council Chikore Centre Clinic receive an average of 14-16 rainy pentads per season. The region is also subject fairly Clinic NYANGOMBE 10 severe mid-season dry spells and therefore is marginal for maize, tobacco and cotton production, or for enterprises based on crop production alone. The farming systems, in conformity with the natural conditioning factors, should therefore be based on both livestck production (assisted by the production of fodder crops) and cash crops under good Nyamombe Nyadowa Rural Health Council management on soils of high available moisture potential. Centre Clinic 2 Region IV - Semi-Extensive Farming : This region experiences fairly low total rainfall (450-650mm) and is subject to periodic seasonal droughts and severe dry spells Mayo2 during the rainy season. The rainfall is too low and uncertain for cash cropping except Rural Health 9 Kambudzi Centre 11 Chitindo in certain very favourable localities, where limited drought-resistant crops can afford a Conucil Council Not Open Clinic sideline. The farming system should be based on livestock production, but it can be intensified to some extent by the growing of drought-tolerant fodder crops.

Region V - Extensive Farming : The rainfall in this region is too low and erratic for the ST. reliable production of even drought-resistant fodder and grain crops, and farming has GEORGES NYAUTARE to be based on the utlization of veld alone. The extensive form of cattle ranching or game Nyautate Rural Health ranching is the only sound farming system for this region. Included in this region are 8 Centre areas of below 900m altitude, where the mean rainfall is below 650mm in the valley and below 600mm in the Save-Limpopo valleys. Nyamaropa REGINA Council COELI Clinic 12 NOTE: Regina Coeli NYAMARAPA Mission A rainy pentad is defined as the centre one of three five-day periods (pentads) which Hospital 3 together receive more than 40 mm and two of which receive at least 8 mm of rainfall.
