Assessment of maize yield gap and major determinant factors between smallholder farmers in the Dedza district of Malawi
This study explored the effect of soil nutrient status, agronomic practices and socio-economic
factors on maize yield attained by smallholder farmers in the Dedza District of Malawi. Results show
that maize yield ranged ...
Participatory Yield Assessment of Climbing and Bush Beans under Different Management Options in Malawi
Common bean is the cheapest source of proteins for the rural poor who cannot afford to buy meat in Sub Saharan Africa. However, in Malawi, the average productivity over the last ten years stands at less than 0.5 Mg ha-1 ...
Farm type-specific determinants of crop productivity in Riviridzi catchment, Ntcheu Malawi
Closing the yield gap among the communities is seen as the step towards alleviating food insecurity and poverty. The casual effects of the actual yields observed in the study area shows that pooled analyses across farm ...
Performance of climbing variety DC80-263
The present work is focused on the performance of bush bean variety under different management practices. Breeding researchers in Malawi have not yet released any climbing bean variety. However, under the McKnight project ...
