TNA Project Idea

Research results in the country showed that zero-tillage technology resulted in significant increase in sorghum production (from about 700 kg/ha to 1,650 kg/ha). Research findings also indicate that zero tillage is promising and recommended particularly in mechanized rain-fed agriculture, which is sensitive to climate change and constitutes 35% of the national cultivated land. With the current and future climate change vulnerabilities, the adoption of the technology is expected to increase resilience of vulnerable communities and consequently enhance their adaptation.
