Overview
The IPM-CRSP Mali project bas developed a bioeconomic model for evaluating the economic and nutritional returns to millet production practices aimed at controlling the parasitic weed Striga, and the relevance of Striga seed movement in the adoption decisions of subsistence farmers. The model is comprised of two components: a biological component reflecting the effects of various production practices on the development and reproductive capacity of Striga, and an economic component reflecting the input and output prices and production constraints faced by subsistence farmers. The model has been specified for the Mourdiab and Sirakorola zones of
Mali.
