Sodseeding - a promising new development in the Eastern Cape sourveld

Abstract

Results of sodseeding experiments have indicated that, provided adequate attention is given to the lime and fertilizer requirements, lucerne and white and red clovers can be successfully established in Dohne sourveld by sod-seeding in the autumn. The need for further research on weed encroachment, sodseeding equipment and management of veld reinforced with legumes, is indicated.
