<summary type="text">Agricultural Master Plan of the Free State
Agricultural Research Council; FS-AMP steering committee
The main focus of the services required by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the FS (FSDARD) was the development and implementation of a dynamic Agricultural Master Plan (AMP). This was to encompass identifying stakeholders and their roles, producing a comprehensive resource audit, identification of best practice land use options, identifying economic opportunities, a dynamic commodity analysis, and viable development projects and the creation of a project information library. All of these were required to inform the AMP, and were to be packaged into an integrated spatial agricultural planning system.

<summary type="text">The influence of rainfall variation on performance of Bonsmara Beef Cattle in the Central Free State
Mohlapo, TD; Van der Westhuizen, HC; Majola, SE; De Klerk, JD
Approximately 80 % of agricultural land in South Africa is mainly suitable for extensive livestock farming.&#13;
The Free State province is the third largest producer of beef in SA.&#13;
It is believed that livestock production and productivities will be one of the most susceptible sectors to climate change (Mwiturubani, 2010).

<summary type="text">The response of alate Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to volatile substances from four non-host plant extracts under laboratory conditions
Richter, JM; Prinsloo, GJ; Van der Linde, TC
Volatile compounds present in essential plant oils are known to influence insect behaviour.&#13;
They are generally of low molecular weight, highly volatile, have a unique mode of action&#13;
and are sometimes of low toxicity to non-target organisms. One example of a volatile&#13;
compound extracted from a plant is methyl salicylate which is being used to reduce aphid&#13;
infestation on barley in some European countries.
