Resumo: | This paper summarizes the results from data collected during the study’s second year,  1997/98. The analysis is based on a sample of 210 smallholder farmers in Nampula Province using  three different sets of production practices:  the DNER/Sasakawa- Global 2000 Program (DNER/SG)  high-input package (improved open-pollinated maize, 100 kg/ha each 12-24-12 and urea fertilizer  on credit); improved planting and weeding practices only (using local seed, without fertilizer);  and a control group of farmers using traditional practices (no improved seed or fertilizer). The  objectives of the research were to: describe the characteristics, input use patterns and yield  response by group; analyze the relative contribution to yield of the different technologies,  environmental factors, and management practices; and assess the profitability of the three  different technology types at the farm level.
