Agriculture is the one sector of the economy that maintained positive growth momentum in 2020 and into 2021, which policymakers identified as part of the sectors to drive economic recovery and job creation.

Precision real-time information on seeding depth, covering height and soil density of re-compacting is desirable during seeding, but is still unavailable.

The demand for avocado plants continues to increase as the popularity and consumption of this fruit keep growing worldwide. While the avocado plants sold until now were grafted on seed or clonal rootstocks obtained by the traditional double grafting method, a nursery in Huelva has succeeded, for the first time, in grafting its avocado plants on clonal rootstocks from in vitro culture.

Merweville in die Noord Kaap na 60 mm reen

As die wereld nat is het jy hierdie manne nodig-

Mense wil nie meer werk nie-  Robots is oppad.

Tyd vir Bokke om te eet-

Ons wonder wereld

En so lag kalkoene almal saam

En so gaan elke op sy eie manier deur die hek.
