The study was investigating the influence of cropping pattern and agronomic practice on maize yield in Kilosa District, Tanzania. The simple random probability sampling technique was employed to select 200 respondents. The survey questionnaire was employed for primary data collection. Data was analysed by multiple linear regressions. The results of suggest that 61% of the respondents were female, most of respondents had 18 years to 25 years seems to be more involved maize farming, 57% of respondents had Primary education and 74% of respondents were married. The finding further revealed that 65% of the respondents came from the household with 1-5 members. The finding also confirmed that cropping pattern where smallholder farmers planted maize with legume (cowpeas, pigeon peas and beans) increases maize yield by 30.43% compared to smallholder farmers who planted single crop. Moreover, it found that, relay cropping and strip cropping were positive and significantly increased maize yield by 22.68% and 22.36% respectively. It is also found that agronomic practices such as weeding, spacing and manure application had positive effect on maize yield, increases maize yield by 28.12%, 25.26% and 37.14% respectively. Unfortunate, smallholder farmer planting crop along slope land particularly high elevation experienced decline of maize yield by 53.74% compared to smallholder famers at lowland. The study however, recommends that cropping practices be promoted where maize planted with legume.
In Memory of Professor K N Raj: A personal tribute
Prof. K,N, Raj was an enigma and most students at CDS were afraid of him. The difficult decision was to choose a supervisor for the MPhil dissertation. Prof. Raj had least number of MPhil and PhD students who successfully completed. I was one of them!
I joined Center for Development Studies (CDS), Trivandrum, as an MPhil student in September 1979. We were a small batch following the every illustrious senior batch who later turned ‘Maharathis’ in the fields of academics, journalism and policy making. It took some time before the professors at CDS started taking us seriously. In the meantime we enjoyed ourselves and the company of our…

The present paper spatially analysis the cropping pattern in Malwa region of the India Punjab by using secondary sources of data i.e. from 2000 2001 to 2010 2011. Districts has been selected as a spatial unit of the present study. The study yields some interesting findings is that the cropping pattern of the study area had drastically changed. It has been observed that the traditional crops of the region have shifted to modern paddy crops specially to rice and wheat during the one decade. Choropleth maps clearly depicting the shifting nature of these crops i.e. wheat, rice, cotton and oil seeds in this paper. The spatial variability of these crops was affected by many local factors like climatic conditions, relatively high preference to particular crop, irrigation facilities, types of relief, etc. But the emergence of rice in Malwa region during this period was one of the key factors in this regard which will have several socio economic and environment consequences.
Traditionally, increased food production has come from putting more land under cultivation. However, in large areas of the world, especially in Asia, all the land that can be economically cultivated is already in use. In future, most of the extra food needs must come from higher production from land already being farmed. A major share of this increase is…
