Abstract

An historical sketch of research on the growing of saligna on short rotations in the Northern Transvaal is given, and the current research programme is outlined. Results are given of the Methods of Soil Preparation experiment at Zomerkomst and preliminary conclusions are drawn from the Silvicultural Systems project at Boschhoek (West-falia).
