Land and Water Management Practices

Land and water management practices like that of contour bunding, drip irrigation and shallow wells have been implemented by farmers over time in southern Mali. Farmers use these practices to improve yield performance and increase the household income. The impact of land and water management practices will be evaluated on two major staple food crops (sorghum and maize) grown in two agro-ecologies of southern Mali. The data collected will be augmented with data collected in 2015 and 2016. In the current year, data will be collected from the four established technology parks in Bougouni and Koutiala.
