New research from @WUR, @PlantAfrican and @IITA_CGIAR finds that #intercrop performance is optimized when #legume planting is timed so their peak growth occurs after #maize harvest
Read the study 👉 https://t.co/D6BZh1qbcG
It takes:
👩🌾60 days to cultivate a hectare of land using a hand hoe
🐄3 days with draught animal power
🚜less than a day using a tractor-powered precision seeder
See how #AgriculturalMechanization has evolved over time.
#AgInnovation
Sustainable mechanization can improve the livelihoods of millions of people & ensure there is enough food for everyone.
Learn how machines & tools are transforming the way we farm 👉🏼https://t.co/4ks3YzEngC
Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization (SAM) in Africa is an urgent imperative and an indispensable pillar for attaining the Malabo Declaration: Zero Hunger Vision by 2025, Goal 2 of the Sustainable Development Goals & Agenda 2063, the Prosperous Africa We Want. #AfricaMechanize
Recent LEG4DEV meeting at @IITA_CGIAR Zambia.
With guidance from @_SLU Professor Jennie Barron, PhD students Theresa Kinkese, @mwala_silumesi, @NgongaEmmanuel and @rememush presented their advancements and discussed refined methodologies to optimize LEG4DEV project goals.
LEG4DEV researcher @rememush introduces a new publication on a game-changing solution for precision #planting and weed management in minimum #tillage systems.

Well done to Oliver and team! 🎉
💚🚜For the love of Agricultural Mechanization I can do this all day. Never underestimate the power of a Two Wheel Tractor 🚜#2WT. If you ask me anytime I'll say "Agriculture is Sexy, it attracts everyone and it never fails"😍.
Mechanization requires a long-term commitment. In many countries where mechanization has occurred, financial support has been provided to farmers through credit or direct grants to procure machinery and equipment from public institutions. Read more at https://t.co/G6lpMfbKn6
@MatongoJay @CIMMYT@ZRBFZIM@bramaccimmyt@sgfonteyne@UNDPZimbabwe@rememush@dorcasmatangi Check my older tweets, where I shared pictures of the content of 30 traps. 712 moths captured on 24/08 (picture attached again here), 338 on 16/08 etc. By the way, 98% of the pictures I post are taken by myself in the field...
And a massive thank you to @rememush who worked days & nights (including week-ends) to harvest these plots (with all measures of #SocialDistancing) before #lockdownzimbabwe. We would not have this data without his dedication to @CIMMYT & @ZRBFZIM. Thank you Oliver!
Agroecology holds promise, the transition is labour&knowledge-intensive #agroecology initiative in🇿🇼is evaluating the usefulness of appropriate scale mechanisation in Enhancing the transition

#JustPublished in Biological Conservation: Researchers from @UniHohenheim, @CIMMYT & @UKZN investigate synergies and trade-offs between farm #labour & #biodiversity needs.
How can these trade-offs be overcome through smart innovation? 👇
