Popis: Surveys have shown that the grazing value of veld in the south‐eastern Transvaal is well below the estimated potential. Extension efforts aimed at rectifying the situation have been unsuccessful in that most recommendations have not been acceptable to producers. An appraisal of the factual base for the recommendations revealed that the latter are seriously flawed. Although enough is known for the formulation of greatly improved recommendations, there is a need for critical research to broaden the factual base. Aspects requiring special attention are indicated.
