Abstract

The soil resources of Otago present a challenge to agriculture, for, although much has already been done to promote their development through the efforts of the Department of Agriculture and the imaginative and enterprising work of many farmers, their potentialities are still far from exhausted. Hitherto only the best soils of Otago have been developed to a high productive level, and most of the soils are at a stage of development far below their capacity. As agricultural development expands and becomes more diverse limitations imposed by the nature of the soils will become of overriding importance, and the pattern of agriculture will have to be more carefully adjusted to the soil pattern of the province.
