Determinants of Crop Residue Use Along an Intensification Gradient in West Africa's Savannah Zones

Determinants of Crop Residue Use Along an Intensification Gradient in West Africa's Savannah Zones

The study compares and contrasts crop residue uses in 3 case study sites along an agricultural intensification gradient in the Sahel-Sudano zone of Niger and Nigeria. It draws on data collected from 24 villages involving 480 households and employs a Tobit model to analyse the determinants of crop re...
