| Description |
There is a widespread decline in soil fertility in Malawi, and food security is a pressing issue. The Guide to Agricultural Production published by the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA 1991) provides guidelines to improve productivity in a wide range of crops. This brochure is meant as a complement to the Guide, for use by extension workers, NGO farm advisors, and anyone interested in expanding the range of options for farmers. It describes a number of low-cost options suitable for the resource-poor smallholder farmer, who cannot always afford the recommended fertilizer rates. |
