      abstract = {The paper investigates the impact of credit constraints on  the adoption of hybrid maize among rural households in  Malawi using the treatment-effects model. Results reveal  that after effectively correcting for endogeneity, credit  constraints have a reducing effect on the size of land  allocated to hybrid maize. Farmers with larger land  holdings allocate more land to hybrid maize while older  farmers allocate less land to hybrid maize. These findings  suggest that there is scope for increasing the cultivation  of hybrid maize in Malawi if credit is targeted at younger  farmers that are credit-constrained.},
