Title Manure use in two villages of central upper Volta
 
Creator Bonkian, A
 
Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description In order to estimate minted crop production budgets under farmers'
conditions in central Upper Volta, the ICRISAT West Africa Economics
Program undertook a farm-management study in 1980 at Nakamtenga and
Nabitenga, two villages 35 kilometers (km) northeast of Ouagadougou
(see Matlon 1980a and Matlon 1980b for a description of the general
objectives of the study). In the course of the study, it was observed
that farmers used various types of animal manures--pig, sheep, goat,
cattle, donkey, chicken--in their Nelda. As a management practice
with potentially important effects on productivity, manure use seemed
to warrant a more detailed analysis.
