Comparatively, Zambian smallholder cassava productivity is low. Zambian farmers produce 6 ton ha-1 , compared to 20–25 ton ha-1 in Zambia. Therefore, understanding smallholder farmers' poor yields is necessary to develop cassava cropping systems for yield intensification. In this study, field...

Maize productivity among the smallholder farmers in Zambia is generally low, resulting in average national grain yield of 2.3 tons per hectare. This challenge is mainly attributed to low and erratic rainfall, low soil fertility, and poor farming practices. This study was conducted to (i) evaluate...
