ABSTRACT
This report presents the results from soil surveys carried out in South EastDistrict at a 1:100 000 scale. Chapter 1 describes the enviromental aspects,in Chapter 2 the soils and their classification is discussed, while in Chapter3 a qualitative rating of the suitability of the lands in South East Districtis given. Two maps accompany this report.

1.2.2 RainiAll and Potential Evapotranspiration
The mean total annual rainfall ranges from 475 to S7mii: Table 1). The coef-ficient of variation of the annual.rainfall is between 2:) and 30,7: according toBhalotra (l984.
The distribution of this rainfall throughout the year is dS follows: 477 fallsin summer, 40;,: in iutumn, 11% in spring and only 2 utt.lkg Lhe

UALI estimatee that, as a rule, the rainy season aod the ,eitowingsta:t when tainfall (1') exceeds haif the PET. A humid period occurs T,;1)eti f
exceeds full PET, while the rainy seasons ends che E,e(1wPET Taking into account a maximum of 100mm stored soli moistur, the Lt(A,d7igperi.o,i ends when the soil is completely dry On this nasis, fol:r ryons ofgrowiL(g periods can be distinguished (Figure The lengto of tris grow,riseasor ia an important parameter in the evaluation of the climate tor rainfeOagriculture. Most food crops require at least a '40 day long growing periodwith at least one humid month. A second parameter that ;1irectly influence,the on-faim planning of agricultural operations, is the reliabiliLy of the on,se: date of the growing season, as this factor will determine the practicalfeasieeility uf rainfed Earming.
These factors were analyzed for Lobatse climatic station which has compl e
rainfall records over 55 years.The results are presented in Figure 3 and Table 3 and are ized asfollows:
- very severe moisture stress for crops occurs when there is no growingseason, or when the growing season is intermediate, or if there is a normalgrowing period of very short duration (less than 60 days).In Lobatse, this is the case in 32 seasons out of 63 or in about one year outof two.
