Introduction of fodder legumes into rice-based cropping system
In Bangladesh, major constraints to improving the productivity of livestock include a shortage of fodder. At the same time, intensive cropping has reduced the fertility of the soil. This situation can be improved by on-farm cultivation of green fodder for livestock as an integral component of the cropping system. Cultivation...

Improved domestic stoves to enhance energy efficiency
In Bangladesh every year more than 39 million tons of traditional fuel, e.g. wood, are burned. Improved stoves are efficient in reducing biomass use for cooking and other heating purposes, and lead to a reduction of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. This practice describes the double-mouth domestic cook stove.

How to keep your snap bean varieties?
The selection of varieties is essential for the success of any crop. A variety can be defined as plant grouping within a single botanical taxon of the lowest known rank showing characteristics that result from a given genotype, distinguished from any other plant grouping by the expression of the characteristics,...

Farmer field schools on integrated plant nutrient systems
There are different ways of carrying out agricultural extension. Farmer Field Schools (FFS) represent a participatory approach that directly reaches farmers and addresses their day-to-day problems. The concept of FFS builds on the belief that farmers are the main source of knowledge and experience in carrying out farm operations. This...

Labour-saving technologies and practices: single axle tractors
The following describes the features of single-axle tractors. Their advantages and disadvantages are also explained.
Description
1. Features
Single axle tractors are commonly used in Asia but not in Africa, partly due to harsher conditions and less irrigated land in the latter.
They range in power from around 1.5 kW to 15 kW, controlled...

Use of sorghum stover as dry season fodder for ruminants
Cereal stovers are widely used for feeding ruminant livestock, and in semi-arid areas sorghum stover may be an important part of livestock diets during the dry season, helping to maintain condition and increase survival. Bird-resistant varieties of sorghum have been bred for use in semi-arid zones to increase yields of...

How to check whether a Rhizobium-based formulation actually increases the production of my snap bean seeds?
Rhizobia are naturally occurring soil-borne bacteria, which fix nitrogen in symbiosis with legumes. In beans, an additional inoculation of seeds with such bacteria can increase nitrogen fixation. Rhizobia - based solutions are commercially available and are included in the authorized list of inputs for organic agriculture (https://www.inputs.eu/input-search.html). How to test...

Improved grazing land
Improved grazing land management is vital to increasing food security and alleviating poverty. It also provides environmental benefits. To address these problems, the national Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) programme in Ethiopia initiated a grazing land management project in 2000. Implementation of the technology includes the initial delineating of the...

Establishing grass barriers along the contour to reduce water runoff and erosion during heavy rainfall
The agricultural sector in the Caribbean islands such as Grenada is extremely vulnerable to storms and hurricanes. Establishing grass barriers along the contour can help in reducing water runoff and erosion during heavy rainfall. Grass barriers provide erosion control on croplands and offer a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to...

Tsetse control: insecticide treatment of cattle
Insecticide treatment of cattle is an important method of tsetse control. However, insecticides applied to cattle have been shown to contaminate dung. This has a significant impact on insects using the dung as a resource, e.g. dung beetles. This reduces the recycling of dung and has a negative impact on...

Grafting tomato to increase seed production
Grafting of tomatoes has the potential to increase tomato seed production under organic conditions. Grafting means to combine the positive characteristics of a rootstock (e.g., increased vigour, resistances to soil-borne diseases) with the positive characteristics (e.g., fruit quality, taste) of the upper part of the plant (scion).
