This technology aims to enhance food security, reduce poverty, and promote sustainable agriculture. Simultaneously, it contributes to more sustainable plant disease management while mitigating the impacts of climate change, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals such as food security, poverty reduction and sustainable agriculture.

To integrate this technology into your project, create a list of project activities and prerequisites, including:

• Identifying and developing effective access to tolerant varieties, mineral fertilizers, and broadleaf herbicides to control striga,

• Raising awareness with farmers about the benefits and availability of proactive management of striga infestation, 

• Establishment of farmer field school, training of trainers and collective action programs,

• Linking producers to financial support and markets.

- Estimate the quantity of organic and mineral fertilizers, and post-emergent broadleaf herbicides needed for your project, 

- As the technology is available in Burkina Faso, Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, include the delivery cost to the project site and account for import clearance and duties if relevant. 

Training is important because treating seed requires knowledge and skills to be performed properly and safely. A team of trainers could provide training and support during project installation. Include the cost for training and post-training support for using the technology.

Communication support for the technology should be developed (flyers, videos, radio broadcasts, etc.)

For better optimization of this technology, it is recommended to associate this technology with Fertilizer Micro-Dosing to Enhance Yield and Use Efficiency.

To implement the technology in your country, you could collaborate with agricultural development institutes and seed multiplication companies.
