| Résumé : |
At a meeting convened in 1993 by the Agricultural Development Centre (ADC) in Namibia, local farmers were invited to participate in a pilot project for the production and multiplication of pearl millet seed. Fifty farmers registered but this number was later reduced to 10 after the suitability of their farms was assessed on-site in accordance with five criteria. These farmers were supplied with seed for sowing, but followed their normal crop management practices, with occasional guidance and brought their crop to the purchasing center for machine threshing and Grade-1 quality assessment. An encouraging+/-17 t of seed was produced from 70ha of smallholder farmland. |
