Digital soil mapping of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic carbon and their crop response thresholds in smallholder managed escarpments of Malawi
This study demonstrates how to predict and map soils within smallholder farms in fragile landscapes of Malawi. We used random forest algorithm and sentinel imagery to improve mapping of SOC and NPK farm level. SOC was ...
Narrowing Common Bean Yield Gap and Improving Productivity Using Organic Soil Amendments within Smallholder Farming Systems of Sub-Saharan Africa
Main effects of chicken manure treatment on bean yield in sole and maize intercrop cropping systems.
Agricultural systems dynamics framework for the Ntcheu-Changara Transect
Most of the background material and initial frameworks for the present work have been extracted from the discussions among CGIAR sister institutions, implementing partners and stakeholders during the systems and meta-analysis ...
Effect of best-bet sustainable land management technologies of minimum till, agroforestry shrubs and box ridges on yield of maize (SC403) in Nsipe, Malawi
Food insecurity is a serious challenge to most of the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this region, production levels of small-scale farmers, who contribute a significant proportion of the maize produced, has been far much ...

Performance of SER83 Bushbean Variety Under Drought
The present work is focused on drought tolerant beans in smallholder's maize mixed farming system. SER45 is a small seeded bean variety, bred for tolerance to drought, just like SER45. The variety has shown potential in ...

Bush bean genotype that thrives under drought in Malawi
Spatial Variation in Tree Density and Estimated Aboveground Carbon Stocks in Southern Africa
Variability in woody plant species, vegetation assemblages and anthropogenic activities derails the efforts to have common approaches for estimating biomass and carbon stocks in Africa. In order to suggest management ...
Livelihood type-specific determinants of household’s choices of land use and farm management practices, and crop productivity in Riviridzi catchment, Ntcheu Malawi
The study has found different impacts of socio-ecological factors on cropping, fertilizer use and soil and water conservation practices when analyses are done at whole sample or farm type specific. Household behaviour also ...
Effect of different management options on yield of climbing and drought tolerant bush beans in different soil health conditions.
