SIMLEZA SITE CHARACTERISATION AND MONITORING & EVALUATION PLAN
ZARIZARI
Introduction • The bread basket of the country
• 4 main crops contributes a significant share to national production – maize (22%); G/nut (30%): cotton (69%); sunflower (73%)
• Distinct spatial differences based on bio physical conditions (agro-ecological; topography ) and economic development.

Population Density in SIMLEZA survey districts in eastern Zambia.
Soil Types in SIMLEZA Districts• Physically Ferralsols are
good soils, well drained and with a good structure and deep profile.
• Low capacity to retain and supply nutrients to plants
• Ferralsols have low pHs (< 5.2)
• Deficient in bases (Ca, Mg, K) which requires lime application
