%T Cost-Effective Soil Fertility Management Options for Smallholder Farmers in Malawi
%U http://oar.icrisat.org/2233/
%X 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.
