for the North West Province the last two seasons (2016/2017 and
2017/2018) compared to the previous drought year (2015/2016).
The difference in yields between the past contrasting climatic seasons
is evident in all the graphs.
Graph 12
shows that the 2015/2016 pro-
duction season’s drought was very intense and had a big impact on
yield compared to the 2016/2017 yields where very good yields were
achieved due to favourable climatic conditions. South Africa produced
its lowest volume of maize, apart from the 2006/2007 season, during
the 2015/2016 production season whereas a record maize crop was
obtained the following year (2016/2017).
afgelope twee seisoene (2016/2017 en 2017/2018) in Noordwes behaal
vergeleke met die vorige droogtejaar (2015/2016).
Die verskil in opbrengste tussen die kontrasterende klimaatseisoene
in die verlede is duidelik uit al die grafieke.
Grafiek 12
toon dat die
2015/2016-produksieseisoen se droogte baie erg was en ’n groot impak
op opbrengs gehad het, vergeleke met die 2016/2017-opbrengste,
toe baie goeie opbrengste as gevolg van gunstige klimaatstoestande
behaal is. Buiten die 2006/2007-seisoen, het Suid-Afrika sy laagste
volume mielies tydens die 2015/2016-produksieseisoen behaal, terwyl
’n rekordmielieoes in die volgende jaar (2016/2017) behaal is.
