investigation into the performance of smallholder irrigation schemes in Limpopo Province, South Africa: success factors, typologies and implications for development https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30709 150% intensity) were old gravity schemes. Farmers on approximately 75% of Limpopo smallholder schemes are currently engaging in land exchange transactions in a highly insecure and un-formalised institutional setup. Land exchange prevalence longer than two years was moderately associated with cropping intensity and strongly associated with commercialisation. This result has three important implications. First, it suggests that more land is utilised on the schemes when there is vibrant land-leasing activity. Secondly, schemes with a higher prevalence of long-term leasing seem to have a strong tendency to be more commercialised. Thirdly, the duration of the lease is significant, as neither single-season, nor annual leases yielded any positive associations, while those exchanges that were two years or longer, were associated with increased performance. These findings highlight the potential for longer-term land-exchange interventions to address the widespread low land utilisation on smallholder schemes, and to catalyse more commercially-oriented farming. An irrigation scheme typology was derived from the cluster analysis and was aligned to a contemporary irrigation farming typology. The key descriptors included technology type, purpose of farming and scheme management type. By matching scheme type to the farmer typology (or typologies), strategic decisions regarding technology choices for infrastructure, land, and water institutional interventions can be better informed. All schemes demand attention to the multiple factors required to achieve performance, not least water-tenure security, irrigation management organisational development, and infrastructure modernisation. Complexity was demonstrated by the finding that multiple factors contribute to success, and that there are many dimensions that change independently and have a cascading effect through the system in ways that are difficult to predict. Agricultural systems support to achieve productivity and profitability are essential for success. The research findings lead to the recommendation that, in addition, strategic planners must also consider the implications of the dominant factors of water-technology choices so that these are manageable, and the dynamics of farm-size change based on land exchange processes, in order to harness new opportunities to maximise irrigation scheme performance in future.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 11:26:49 SAST ]]> Colloquial terms used in young adults’ talk about sexual practices, sexual subjectivities and sexual desires’ https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31293 Thu 13 May 2021 08:08:37 SAST ]]> Analyzing the Anthropogenic Allee Effect in cycad (Encephalartos species) populations in South Africa: an evaluation of illegal trade and conservation policy https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31171 Thu 13 May 2021 08:05:52 SAST ]]> A sociological study to explore the knowledge of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis at Rhodes University https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31254 Thu 13 May 2021 07:37:01 SAST ]]> A sociological analysis of Rhodes University students’ understanding of depression https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31255 Thu 13 May 2021 07:21:14 SAST ]]> Chitin hydrolysis with chitinolytic enzymes for the production of chitooligomers with antimicrobial properties https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29165 Thu 13 May 2021 07:11:47 SAST ]]> Charting freedom: inequality beliefs, preferences for redistribution, and distributive social policy in contemporary South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28644 Thu 13 May 2021 06:58:27 SAST ]]> Design and fabrication of components of dye sensitised solar cells https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:34478 Thu 13 May 2021 06:50:15 SAST ]]> Assessing the abundance of non-timber forest products in relation to forest succession on the Wild Coast, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30999 Thu 13 May 2021 06:47:16 SAST ]]> A corporate social responsibility (CSR) analysis of the transformation of the mobile telephone industry of South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30967 Thu 13 May 2021 06:38:52 SAST ]]> An analysis of the availability of and access to credit from the formal financial sector and the performance of SMEs https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:34081 Thu 13 May 2021 06:38:10 SAST ]]> Changes and continuities over time in the cultural significance of the Nyaminyami water spirit among the BaTonga people of northwestern Zimbabwe https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31015 Thu 13 May 2021 06:33:52 SAST ]]> Between drones and al-Shabaab: United States extra-judicial killings in Somalia, sovereignty and the future of liberal intervention https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29125 Thu 13 May 2021 06:30:11 SAST ]]> A platform for women’s experiences? a case of the hip hop scene in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31287 Thu 13 May 2021 06:21:04 SAST ]]> Augmentative releases of Dactylopius austrinus De Lotto (Dactylopiidae; Hemiptera) for biological control of Opuntia aurantiaca Lindley (Cactaceae), in South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30765 Thu 13 May 2021 06:11:40 SAST ]]> Access and control of biodiversity in the context of biopiracy: the case of pelargonium sidoides in the Raymond Mhlaba Local Municipality https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30547 Thu 13 May 2021 06:10:44 SAST ]]> Discursive psychological analysis on the construction and performance of identity through rights talk on social media related to #FeesMustFall https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31306 Thu 13 May 2021 06:00:54 SAST ]]> A computational analysis to decipher the pathways of stability, uncoating and antigenicity of human enterovirus capsids https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:34035 Thu 13 May 2021 05:52:57 SAST ]]> Black forest https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30745 Thu 13 May 2021 05:43:15 SAST ]]> An investigation into the interaction partners of the scaffold protein human CNK1 in the NF-κB pathway https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31228 Thu 13 May 2021 05:39:44 SAST ]]> An investigation into amaXhosa new initiates’ masculine identity construction, mediation and negotiation: implications for the Life Orientation Curriculum https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31097 Thu 13 May 2021 05:35:57 SAST ]]> A pilot wide-field VLBI survey of the GOODS-North field https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30027 5x105 K and >6x1021 W Hz-1 respectively.
