Abstract: |
This study aims to assess methods for farmer-led yield estimation in decentralized on-farm trials, addressing whether farmers can accurately collect data. Key research questions involve evaluating yield estimation techniques and farmer accuracy without extensive training.This study aims to assess methods for farmer-led yield estimation in decentralized on-farm trials, addressing whether farmers can accurately collect data. Key research questions involve evaluating yield estimation techniques and farmer accuracy without extensive training. <br><br> Methodology:We tested volumetric and weighing methods for maize and cocoa yield estimation with 40 farmers in different locations in Ghana.We tested volumetric and weighing methods for maize and cocoa yield estimation with 40 farmers in different locations in Ghana. |
