| Description: | Objectives: Disseminate integrated pest and soil fertility management (IPSFM) options against stemborers, Striga, and declining soil fertility for maize-based production systems in the Lake Victoria Basin. Background: Maize is the most important food crop of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The major constraints to maize production, as perceived by farmers in the Lake Victoria region, are Striga hermonthica, stem borers, and low soil fertility. Under the ongoing DFID-funded Project (R8212), ICIPE, CIMMYT, TSBF-CIAT, Rothamsted Research and various national programmes are testing and disseminating integrated pest and soil fertility management approaches/strategies (IPSFM), in particular against striga, stemborers, and declining soil fertility in the Lake Victoria Basin of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. This project is helping to enhance food security, income generation, and environmental sustainability leading to reduction in poverty in the Lake Victoria basin of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and will result in an overall improvement in livelihood status. |
