Tiszavasvári, Nagyhalász, Tyukod, Ökörítófülpös, Fehérgyarmat, Dombrád,
Vásárosnamény, Nagykálló, Nyírbogát, Nyírtass.
An another group with villages Milota, Tiszadada, Szamossályi, Hermánszeg is
important because here is very high, 7-8% the proportion of the lucerne in their total
sowing area. It can be stated, 29,1 percent of the villages have 3-5% lucerne proportion,
52,6 percent have 1-3% proportion and 9,1 percent have less than 1% lucerne area
proportion in 1936-1962 period. Recent statistical data isn’t convenient for this purpose
because of the missing of wide scale data collection. Because of this fact this data base
is very importan for the people dealing with this theme in any time.
