Jones, R.B. (The Rockefeller Foundation, Lilongwe (Malawi))
The paper focuses on the different intercropping systems found in Malawi. Attention has been given to maize-bean, maize-cowpea, maize-pigeonpea and maize-soyabean intercropping systems with investigations being made into the residual effects from intercropping. Maize-bean intercropping was selected because of its importance throughout Malawi with cowpea substituting for beans in the Lake-shore and Shire Valley ecologies where beans are not well adapted. Maize-pigeonpea was considered important because of the potential to lenghten the growing season and exploit residual moisture reserves that would otherwise be lost
