<font face="Calibri">When I looked at the TZ agroecological zone
maps for south-eastern Tanzania I found them to be identical to
the SOTERSAF soil maps, just reinterpreted as crop
recommendations, so suggest you just go get the SOTERSAF data (Google
for the whole set or get the Tanzania subset from ILRI), and use
that. I think you can download PDFs of the </font><font
face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri">agroecological zone maps from
some website (try
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.kilimo.go.tz/agricultural%20maps/Mlingano.htm">http://www.kilimo.go.tz/agricultural%20maps/Mlingano.htm</a>), and
thus easily cross-reference to the soil map boundaries. However,
I would take all results with a large pinch of salt since I
think the underlying SOTERSAF data is pretty crude and has not
been well ground-truthed. I would not expect it to be useful at
sub-district level.<br>
