Body
This paper describes the techniques used to increase production from veld in the eastern high rainfall areas of South Africa by fertilizing (using mainly N and P) and oversowing with a selected grass species, and then fortifying with legumes. The improver grass is best oversown into fertilized veld in the second season. After the introduced grass has become established legumes can be sown in rows using a sod seeder or pasture seeding implement. A few examples are given of the production which was obtained.
