TAMASA Tanzania. Agronomy Panel Survey (APS) 2016. Crop Cut & Soil data
No full textThe 2016 Agronomy Panel Survey (APS) for Tanzania is the first wave of a yearly farm household panel dataset collected under the BMGF-funded project Taking Maize Agronomy to Scale in Africa (TAMASA), in collaboration with the Sustainable Intensification Innovation Lab (SIIL). The APS is a detailed farm household survey with agronomic, yield and soils components for a focal field. This is a yearly panel survey, i.e. data are collected on the same households and fields every year for the duration of the project. The purpose of the data collection is severalfold: 1. To better document spatio-temporal variability in agronomic management and yield outcomes 2. To facilitate research on a. drivers of yield outcomes (i.e. role of alternative agronomic practices), and b. the determinants of farmer decision-making (i.e. in adopting particular agronomic practices) that contribute to observed yield outcomes 3. To test the hypothesis that farm-level socioeconomic data adds value to our understanding of yield outcomes (and, thus, our ability to predict such outcomes in the future, using geospatially explicit approaches) 4. To serve as a baseline for the evaluation of site-specific nutrient management tools, using randomized control experimental approaches, combined with econometric analysis of panel survey dat

SIMLESA. On-station and on-farm agronomy data from 2010 to 2019.
No full textThe file contains on-farm and on-station agronomy data sets generated in Eastern and Southern Africa between 2010 and 2016 under the Sustainable Intensification of Maize-Legume systems in Eastern and Southern Africa (SIMLESA) project. The five countries involved were Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique. The experimental trials tested the performance of various Conservation Agriculture based maize-legume intercrops or rotations relative to the commonly practiced conventional till farmer practice systems. In most of the tested cropping systems, the conventional farmer practice involved tillage using the moldboard plough, the manual hand hoe or in some cases the ridge and furrow system. Conservation Agriculture involved reduced soil disturbance, provision of soil cover and the use of leguminous crop rotations or intercrops. Crop establishment techniques involved hoe prepared planting basins or stations, ripping using animal traction, direct seeding using the dibble stick, jab planters, or animal traction direct seeding equipment. Crop management in terms of planting date, plant populations, fertilization, pest and weed control, were similar across all tested cropping systems. Experiments were mostly run in the same locations over the seven year period in order to also get an understanding of how the systems performance changed over time.
