Abstract
Part one summarizes relevant information on crop production systems, physical and economic circumstances, crop-livestock interactions, and maize production practices in the District. Part two presents a diagnosis of the main problems associated with maize production (i.e., insect damage, plant population management, fertilizer management, and seed quality) and their causes. Using evidence from the on-farm trials, part three discusses possible solutions in the areas of plant protection, plant population, fertilizer management, and variety trials. Also noted are verification trials conducted on the consistency of yield responses and net benefits for the suggested practices. Brief, concluding sections discuss current research priorities, research methodology, and foci of upcoming research.
