Última Participatory Evaluation of Integrated Pest and Soil Fertility Management Options Using Ordered Categorical Data Analysis AgEcon Rutto, Esther; De Groote, Hugo; Vanlauwe, Bernard; Kanampiu, Fred; Odhiambo, George D.; Khan, Zeyaur R.. During participatory rural appraisals, farmers at the Lake Victoria basin of Kenya and Uganda identified Striga, stemborer and declining soil fertility as three major constraints to maize production To reduce food insecurity, several innovative integrated technologies to address these constraints have been developed, including push-pull (maize intercropped with Desmodium and surrounded by napier grass), maize-soybean and maize-crotalaria rotations, and Imazapyrresistant (IR) maize seed coated with the herbicide. To let farmers evaluate the new technologies, 12 demonstration trials, comparing the different technologies, were established in four villages in Siaya and Vihiga districts (Western Kenya) and two villages in Busia (Uganda). These evaluations,... Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Farmers' preference; Technologies; Ordinal regression; Crop Production/Industries. Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/25317 Smallholder marketed surplus and input use under transactions costs: maize supply and fertilizer demand in Kenya AgEcon Arega, D.A.; Manyong, Victor M.; Omanya, G.; Mignouna, H.D.; Bokanga, M.; Odhiambo, George D.. This paper assessed the effects of transactions costs—relative to price and non-price factors—on smallholder marketed surplus and input use in Kenya. A selectivity model was used that accounts not only for the effects of fixed and variable transactions costs but also for the role of assets, technology, and support services in promoting input use and generating a marketable surplus. Output supply and input demand responses to changes in transactions costs and price and non-price factors were estimated and decomposed into market entry and intensity. The results showed that while transactions costs indeed have significant negative effects on market participation, cost-mitigating innovations—such as group marketing—are also emerging to mitigate the costs of...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/52074 Livelihood Strategies of Resource-Poor Farmers in Striga-Infested Areas of Western Kenya. AgEcon Manyong, Victor M.; Alene, Arega D.; Odhiambo, George D.; Mignouna, H.D.; Bokanga, M.; Omanya, G.; Nindi, S.J.. Striga hermonthica (del) Benth is threatening rural livelihoods in western Kenya where maize is the major food and cash crop. Vulnerability analysis was conducted on a sample of 802 households in eight districts of Nyanza and Western provinces. Farmers perceived Striga as the major cause of poverty and food insecurity. Both household income and child nutrition indicators showed alarming conditions for the majority of households. The coping strategies and informal safety nets were not capable of addressing the vulnerability issue successfully. A logistic regression model of determinants of poverty was estimated to examine the determinants and correlates of poverty. Results revealed certain characteristics of households that were more likely to be poor: poor...
