This report is a summary of a series of studies on zinc status in thesoils of the project sites, Kafr El-Sheikh, El-Mansuriya, and El- Minya, during the agricultural years 1978/79 and 1980/81. The studies included a soil fertility survey and on-farm tests for various crops. The results indicate that: (1) there is a wide range in available soil zinc within the different Project areas, and a crop response to added zinc fertilizer would be expected; and(2) response to zinc differed from one crop to another and from replicate to replicate. The crops tested were wheat, broad beans, cotton, corn, flax and rice.

The lack of a significant tradition of irrigation in much of Africa is one of the factors reducing effectiveness of irrigation development. It is therefore difficult to forecast the rate of technology uptake and therefore expected increases in productivity on regular schemes. In Zimbabwe, a study by Rukuni (1984) has shown that small-holder irrigators have severelylimited resources, though they may be relatively better off than their counterparts on rainfed plots. The situation of farm families on Zimbabwean small-holder schemes has been found to differ between 3 main types of schemes. These are (a) the older type government schemes, (b) the younger type of government schemes and (c) those run by ARDA (Agricultural and Rural development Authority; a parastatal) as part of a large State farm. The older type government schemes are more "intensive" and individual families have more land than the younger "supplementary" schemes. The farmers on supplementary schemes integrate irrigation with rainfed agriculture more strongly. Families generally face a number of resource constraints. First is the problem oflack of draft power on government schemes. ARDA farmers have access to tractors. Farmers also generally face labor shortages at certain times of the year, especially in the production of crops like cotton or tomatoes. Farmers also face cash shortages at times. This affects the use of purchased inputs. Whilst it is easy for ARDA farmers to acquire credit, this is more difficult for those on government schemes.
