Research has shown that crop residues lower crop yields on sites where soil fertility was low and no additional fertilizers were applied

Mulching or incorporation of the residues helps the farmer to make manure in-situ. In most parts of the southern Africa region, and indeed in Malawi, crop residues are used for compost manure making

Farmers have been faced with the challenge of moving crop residues from the field; to homesteads; and bring them back as compost manure

This has the advantage that if combined with animal dung, there is an added value to the residue

The residue is also protected from grazing animals as well as uncontrolled fires

The challenge however has been that farmers will make the compost manure, but not apply it in the field because they have no transport to carry the manure. Labour constraints may also limit the application of the manure

Crop rotations and/or associations/intercrops are critical for maintaining soil health, suppressing weeds, controlling pests and diseases, including Striga, and providing a more diverse base to improve household diets and incomes

Crop rotations can include commercial crops and cover crops. The most ideal rotation in a conservation agriculture system is one in which gramineas are diversified with legumes, cruciferas, malvaceas or others
