Understanding the interactions of genotype with environment and management (G×E×M) to maize productivity in Conservation Agriculture systems of Malawi.

Research in Malawi compared maize genotypes and management practices, finding hybrids yield better overall, but open pollinated varieties show more stability in specific conditions. Conservation Agriculture is recommended for improved outcomes. Farmers should weigh hybrid advantages and OPV adaptability based on their climate.
