The empirical analyses used data on market shares of wheat varieties planted by farmers and annual quantities of wheat produced across different wheat-production areas in South Africa (summer dryland, dryland winter, and irrigation). A vintage regression model was estimated to calculate the ...
Its production had been restricted in South Africa, North Africa and the Highlands of Ethiopia and Kenya. But over the past two decades, its consumption increased due to the increasing population, demographic changes such as rising economy, urbanization and changed dietary preferences that have made ...
In summary, this work provides results for heat exposure impacts on dryland wheat production in South Africa. Findings suggest that large reductions in wheat yields occur when temperatures exceed 30 °C and that warming impacts will increase non-linearly under uniform warming scenarios. Our results...

production in the summer rainfall area (SRA) of South Africa. Dryland wheat farming in the SRA is unique in that the crop is dry-planted on high-water-table soils in winter, relying on stored moisture for germination and vegetative growth. Drought risk is high as only 260300 mm rainfall ...
The Relationship Between Farm Size and Technical Inefficiency of Production of Wheat Farmers in the Eastern Free State, Province of South Africa Farm-level data for the 1988/89 agricultural year from a sample survey of wheat farmers in Eastern Free State, are analysed in this paper. Stochastic ...
Nineteen plant-parasitic nematode species were recovered from 175 wheat fields in the seven major wheat-production areas of the Republic of South Africa. The predominant ectoparasites were Merlinius brevidens and Paratrichodorus minor. Both species occurred in almost 25 % of all soil samples. Scute...
Global food security requires food production to be increased in the future decades. Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZ) methodology is a successful approach used in land evaluation studies to support sustainable agricultural development. This approach can facilitate finding suitable areas for wheat production on...
Under natural climatic conditions, only locations planted to rainfed spring-type wheat in the western and southern production regions of the Western Cape experienced climatic conditions suited to T. indica development. Humid Thermal Indexes (HTI) were usually within the suitable range of 2.2 to 3.3 ...
