The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), one of fifteen CGIAR Research Centers, undertakes scientific research for development. ICRISAT believes that everyone is entitled to nutritious food and a better quality of life. Their approach is through partnerships and with an Inclusive Market Oriented Development. ICRISAT takes a catalyst role to help rural communities develop their own solution and engage the actors needed to bring the vision to reality.

Intensification of Maize-Legume Based Systems in the Semi-Arid Areas of Tanzania

This dataset is from the research study that aims to diversify the production environment to de-risk production in these semi-arid ecologies. In this study, two approaches were used , i.e. (i) testing suitability of legume x legume and legume by cereal production systems; (ii) modeling the multiple cropping systems using APSIM crop simulation model to assess changes in resource base, resource use efficiencies, productivity and profitability of the different cropping systems. The data included here are from the testing of suitability of legume legume x legume and legume by cereal production systems in Kongwa, Kiteto and Iringa districts of Tanzania and consists of overall biomass and seed weight along with variety name and intercropping.

Survey of Land and Water Management Practices Over Time on the Productivity and Economic Benefits of Cereal Crops

Survey of Land and Water Management Practices Over Time on the Productivity and Economic Benefits of Cereal Crops

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 was evaluated on different crops (sorghum, millet, maize, groundnut and cotton) grown in two agro-ecologies of southern Mali. The data collected complete the data on environmental domain (field experiment from 2015 to 2017). That data were collected from the four established technology parks in Bougouni and Koutiala.

Validation of Residual Tied Ridging Insitu Rainwater Harvesting Labor Saving Technology in Semi-Arid Areas of Central Tanzania

Validation of Residual Tied Ridging Insitu Rainwater Harvesting Labor Saving Technology in Semi-Arid Areas of Central Tanzania

This dataset presents the data used in the study that was undertaken in four villages which had tied ridges constructed on 2016/2017 cropping season. It involved the use of a split-plot design with two factors namely tillage methods (i.e. annual tied ridging (ATR), residual tied ridging (RTR) and conventional farmer practice, (CFP) and two improved maize varieties (one commercial maize variety commonly grown by participating farmers) and one promising drought tolerant maize (DT) variety released by CIMMYT (WEMA) and ICRISAT (NACO Mtama 1). These trials consisted of six treatments that were replicated three times at each site. All treatments were applied with 20kg P/ha of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer at planting and Urea (40 kg N/ha) will be applied as a topdressing. Biophysical and socio-economic data will be collected and analyzed. The study consists of two cereal based systems notably:1. Maize based cereal system and treatments 2. Sorghum based cereal system.
