摘要: This study shows how low-cost options can increase agricultural productivity in the millet-producing areas of Mali. Seed priming increased millet yield by 40% sites Mopti region (low rainfall). When combined with application 0.3 g fertilizer per pocket, 106%. In regions further south, best treatment was a combination seed priming, an 2 15 to 20 days after sowing, and fungicides/insecticides. Improved fodder rations were tested cowpea haulm bran found give daily weight gain 210 for rams, compared 80 traditional feeding system. A conceptual integrated farm created using improved technologies, which shown generate surplus production both grain fodder.
