RELATED FARMING SYSTEMS

22 NORTON 13 Region I - Specialized and Diversified Farming: Rainfall in this region is high (more than 1000mm per annum in areas lying below 1700m altitude, and more than 900mm 15 per annum at greater altitudes), normally with some precipitation in all months of the 3 10 year. GIANT Elvington Clinic Temperatures are normally comparatively low and the rainfall is consequently highly Lizmore Gold Mine Clinic Clinic 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 BHP GADZEMA Private grown, where the mean annual rainfall below 1400mm, supplementary irrigation of Clinic these plantation crops is required for top yields.

M u p Region IIA - Intesive Farming : Rainfall is confined to summer and is moderately fu re 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 23 e MARIRANGWE w conditions, rarely experiencing severe dry spells in summer. The region is suitable for u Selous r a intensive systems of farming based on crops and /or livestock production. Council S CHIVERO Clinic 11 Region IIB - Intesive Farming : This sub-region receives an average of 16-18 rainy Sandringham pentads per season and is subject either to rather more severe dry spells during the Mission SELOUS Clinic CHIBERO 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 12 Chibero change the overall utilization from intensive systems of farming. 7 Clinic 21 MONERA Region III - Semi-Intensive Farming : Rainfall in this region is moderate in total Monera amount (650-800mm), but, because much of it is accounted for by infrequent heavy 12 Council e falls and temperatures are generally high, its effectiveness is reduced. This region will w 10 Clinic g n 11 receive an average of 14-16 rainy pentads per season. The region is also subject fairly Chegutu Urban a r i S Municipality- r severe mid-season dry spells and therefore is marginal for maize, tobacco and cotton h 11 a u clinic r M 2 u 8 production, Pfupajena S 9 h Municipality- or for enterprises based on crop production alone. The farming systems, in conformity u 5 r clinic u Chegutu DC bo with the natural conditioning factors, should therefore be based on both livestck im David Whitehead Council Clinic Ch production (assisted by the production of fodder crops) and cash crops under good Private Clinic 1 2 management on soils of high available moisture potential. CHEGUTUURBAN 9 Suri-Suri 28 Region IV - Semi-Extensive Farming : This region experiences fairly low total rainfall Airforce- 3 MARISAMHUKA clinic (450-650mm) and is subject to periodic seasonal droughts and severe dry spells CHEGUTU during the rainy season.

Homedale Clinic Region V - Extensive Farming : The rainfall in this region is too low and erratic for the reliable production of even drought-resistant fodder and grain crops, and farming has i z d to i M h u c be based on the utlization of veld alone. The extensive form of cattle ranching or game p a f y ur 1 e 12 N ranching is the only sound farming system for this region. Included in this region are areas of below 900m altitude, where the mean rainfall is below 650mm in the Zambezi Brunswick valley and below 600mm in the Save-Limpopo valleys. Clinic M upfure NOTE: A rainy pentad is defined as the centre one of three five-day periods (pentads) which together receive more than 40 mm and two of which receive at least 8 mm of rainfall.
