A video produced for ICRISAT about the benefits of using compost over manure. What is less known is that the micro-organisms in compost attack striga seeds in the soil. Compost also decreases the amount of striga that will sprout, and reduces its negative effect on cereal crops.
The video also talks about how to make compost, showing how farmers in northeast Mali make compost as one of the strategies of integrated striga and soil fertility management.
This could be of interest to researchers or extension officers who work with farmers, as a resource to share with farmers, or for those involved in farmer research networks.
