Alzu Agriculture

Alzu uses a specially formulated mielie planting system implemented in 2006. The system comprises of a 12 row mielie planting plan, wherein each row has a width of 76 centimeters. This system allows a crop canopy to form quickly, retaining more moisture and ensuring better weed control. As an increase in foliage ensure a greater surface area it allows for more exposure to sunlight.

Cultivar trails are annually conducted on a variety of mielie strains in order to determine which strains are most adaptable to the area; provides optimum yield and quality product. These crops are managed according new and precision farming methods.

The crop farmed by Alzu provides mainly for the production of animal feeds by Alzu Feeds. Alzu Feeds is the main provider of cattle feeds for Alzu Beefmasters, layer feeds for Alzu Eggs and Game Feeds for “Care For Wild.”
