  • Does fertilization affect maize production in Mozambique?
  • From the data obtained soil tillage and seed quality does not seem to have any positive or negative cross effect with fertilization. Farmers who grow maize in Mozambique usually obtain a yield of approximately 1.0 mt ha-1. The value of this production varies from place to place and also varies according to the time of year.
  • How can farmers improve maize yield in Mozambique?
  • In Mozambique, traditional (i.e. farmer-saved seed) open pollinated varieties of maize, which have low productivity potential and low response to fertilizer application, are used extensively. The project aims to demonstrate how farmers can improve their maize yield through the use of improved seed such as Sussuma, Matuba, and hybrids such as PAN67.
  • Does Mozambique have a role in maize output market?
  • Mozambique is among the few southern African countries that the government has very little involvement in maize input market and does not intervene in maize output market (Sitko et al., 2017).
  • Which crop has the highest application rate in Mozambique?
  • Figure 5. Application rate of maize in Mozambique and neighboring countries Maize is the crop with highest number of varieties released by IIAM since independence. 22 of 164 varieties released by the institution are of maize, followed by sweet potato (20) and bean (19).
  • How can a metabolic engineering strategy improve maize production?
  • Systematic metabolic engineering strategy accelerates high-oil maize breeding. Maximizing the embryo oil content of the maize kernels without sacrificing yield. Producing EPA- and DHA-rich maize for biofortification purposes. Breeding for high oil in vegetative tissues to develop maize as an energy crop.
  • How much fertilizer does Mozambique use?
  • For Mozambique specifically, fertilizer use is, on average, around 6 kg ha -1. The Maize Intensification in Mozambique project (MIM) began in September 2008 and is being implemented by the International Fertilizer Development Centre (IFDC).
