However, Zia farming is an innovative technology which involves the burial of manure/organic matter in holes/ pits and planting the crop later on top of the pit. The objectives of this study are to evaluate and disseminate the Zia and fertilizer Micro-dosing techniques on-farm; to undertake cost benefit analysis of the Zia and fertilizer Micro-dosing; to explore the potential increase in grain yield of Zia and fertilizer Micro-dosing over farmers practice in the Africa RISING intervention communities; to undertake comparative analysis of the effect of Zia and fertilizer Micro-dosing on maize,sorghum, and millet.</p> <p><b>Project website</b>: <a href="http://africa-rising.net"> http://africa-rising.net/where-we-work/west-africa/</a></p> <p> <b>Project start date</b>: 01/06/2014</p> <p><b> Project end date </b>: 01/09/2014</p>2014-09-01GhanaGhanaGhanaNyanguaSamboligoGiaObservation dataExperimental dataIITA/Africa RISING Scalling-up sustainable practices, Ghana, 2014<h3> IFPRI DATAVERSE TERMS OF USE </h3> By using this website and any of the materials made available through it, you agree to abide by the Terms of Use of IFPRI Dataverse.
