| Project title | AfricaRISING - Sustainable intensification of cereal-based farming systems in the Guinea-Sudan-Savanna of Ghana and Mali |
| Project abstract | Mono-cropping of sesame(Sesame indicum L.) Is being promoted for cash to diversify smallholder income in the northern Ghana. The objective of this activity is to evaalute agronomic options for integrating seasame into maize,sorghum and millet cropping systems.A split-plot design replicated in 3-4 communities per region will be used with within row spacing 1 and 2 weeks after planting maize. For the trials,data will be collected on growth of maize and sesame,light interception/leaf area index,weed diversity and biomas,grain yield of maize and sesame, soil temperture,soil moisture, and plant pest and diseases. Output and Input will be collected for cost benefit analysis. |
