Insecticide spray regime effect on cowpea yield and financial returns in nort...africa-rising
While insecticide spraying offers the most effective management strategy for insect pests in farmers fields, most farmers in Ghana spray only once in most cases. This is not enough to effectively control the insect pests. In this study, we compared the effect of a three spray regime to conventional farmer practice (one spray) on yield and net financial returns of cowpea on-farm.Poster prepared by Bekele Kotu Hundie (IITA) April 2016.

While insecticide spraying offers the most effective management strategy for insect pests in farmers’ fields, most farmers in Ghana spray only once in most cases. This is not enough to effectively control the insect pests. In this study, the effect of a three spray regime was compared to conventional farmer practice (one spray) on yield and net financial returns of cowpea on-farm. It was established that spraying insecticides three times on cowpea not only increases grain yield and net returns, but also reduces the probability of getting lower yields and financial returns which makes it suitable to smallholder farmers who are usually risk averse.

The feeding component in rural and peri-urban smallholder pig systems in UgandaILRI
In the last 30 years, Uganda has had a massive growth in pig population, and currently has the highest per capita consumption of pork in East Africa (3.4 kg year-1). About 90% of the pigs in Uganda are produced in smallholder farms under typical crop-livestock systems, even in the peri-urban setting. This poster presents information from a study to characterize the pig feeding systems in Uganda in terms of the use of local feed resources and gender roles.
