Abstract
IPM strategies for smallholders are more likely to be adopted when they form part of a recommendation domain with a clearly defined target group. Cluster analysis was used to construct a typology of smallholder households participating in IPM on-farm trials in the Shire Highlands, southern Malawi. Clusters were profiled in terms of land, labour, and cash resources using discriminant analysis. The implications of the cluster typology for the design and evaluation of IPM strategies are explored. By relating the cluster typology to farmers' existing pest management strategies, broad recommendation domains were identified for a menu of IPM strategies for maize, beans, and pigeonpea.
