The role of water conservation strategies and benchmark ecotopes for increasing yields in South Africa’s semi-arid croplands

Recently published results regarding South Africa’s cropping potential show that about one third of the arable land is of low potential, located mainly in semi-arid areas, with the main problem being water shortage. This is therefore an appropriate time to review priorities and procedures, for selec...
