Abstract

At the request of the Land and Farm Management Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and the North-Eastem Provincial Crops Officer, site evaluations were carried out on the soil conditions in the Tans. valley in the stretch Mbalamba.J.a,.;.Garisaa.-Bura. The field studies were carried out in two legs, 5 and 6 July 1973 (Messrs Sambroek and Kibe), and 15 and 16 August 1973 (Messrs Sambroek, Mbuvi and Okwaro). The official reporting was delayed because of pressure of other works and the late availability of the laboratory data, and the long time required for the preparation of the map (two sheets; see appendix ).
