@Nig_Farmer Heaps are different from ridges.
If you make long ridges rightly, you can get additional yield of around 1.5tons per acre or 4 tons per hectare compared to flat and considering other field/land conditions.
Plus heaps make mechanization very difficult.
At the sideline of #AGRF2022 summit, members of @CGIAR Senior Leadership Team, led by the Executive Managing Director, @ClaudiaSadoff, paid a visit to CGIAR staff in Kigali, and discussed about system's support to strengthen scientific innovations across CGIAR centers globally.
While we wait for Day 3 of #AGRF2022 to kick off, now is a great time to look back at some of yesterdayโs photos ๐

@IITA_CGIAR & #INERA research teams need determination & skill to negotiate tough travel conditions in rural #DRC to reach fields of #cassava farmers suffering from the impacts of cassava brown streak disease
Keep going @ClerisseC & team

@CGIAR
Contract signing between @IITA_CGIAR and @AgricOgun for the development and implementation of a digital farmers information management system for smallholder farmers in Ogun State, Nigeria.
.@IITA_CGIAR and partners DMSZ and @NextGenCassava conduct training on phenotyping for cassava with #CBSD resistance for INERA-IITA cassava breeding program to enhance production in Ruzizi Plain, DRC.
Donโt be fooled. There's NO โsix months cassavaโ. The new & improved varieties released by @IITA_CGIAR & partners have a maturity period of 10 โ 12 months.
To access these improved #cassava varieties, contact Kayode 07066691353 or Patrick 08054536299

Affordable farming mechanization
80% of smallholder farmers in Nigeria still use manual tools such as hoes and cutlasses because of the prohibitive cost of mechanization.
A STIHL and IITA collaboration aims to change that.
