Traditional maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L) Merrill) intercropping practice cannot be adapted to modern agriculture due to low light use efficiency, radiation use efficiency, low comparative profits of soybeans and incompatibility with mechanization. However, a new type of maize and soybean intercropping system (MSIS) with high land equivalent ratio (LER) provides substantial benefits for small-land hold farmers worldwide.
KELS limited has over the years helped in linking maize and Soy beans aggregators in Uganda and millers in Kenya. We also help in Carrying out value chain analysis for the sector projects and new investors as well as training partners based on research findings of our partner research institutions.
