Abstract: Gender differences in farm management among smallholders is receiving attention from researchers and policy makers. This paper investigated gender differences in five maize plot management practices viz plot sizes and their location relative to the homestead; sources of inputs and usage, labor usage; weeding frequency and green maize harvesting. Fifty five male- and 115 female-managed maize plots operated by 95 households in two villages were examined. Chi squared and t- tests were used to examine the significance of gender differences.
