Maize as food and feed in intensive smallholder systems: management options for improved integration in mixed farming systems of east and southern Africa
As systems intensify, crops and livestock become increasingly integrated. Forage from crops becomes a larger component of overall forage supply in small-scale systems. This paper integrates information from field trials, studying the effect of varying maize planting density, with modelling approache...
