e4“Economic analysis indicated that, given the choice of NERICA varieties, rice farmers who prefer NERICA 1 will have a better return to investment with alternate hills intercropping system while those who prefer NERICA 2 will be better off with the strip cropping system. Cowpea farmers on the other hand are better off with the alternate row cropping system”
