Utendaji wa kizazi cha tatu cha taratibu ya sukuma-vuta (3GPPT) dhidi ya magugu ya striga, shina, na viwavi jeshi

Ili kuboresha ustahimilivu wa teknolojia ya climate-smart push-pull (CSPPT) dhidi ya mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa, majaribio yalihusisha mimea yaliochukuliwa kwa uwezo na faida zao; Brachiaria cv. Xaraes na Desmodium uncinatum zilifaa katika kudhibiti wadudu waharibifu wa mahindi na pia magugu ya striga, katika utafiti wa kulinganisha wa maeneo mengi magharibi mwa Kenya.

Can PPT Help Farmers Adapt to Climate Change?

Yes! It helps with climate adaptation:
Desmodium enriches the soil and suppresses weeds.
The PPT improves soil moisture retention.
Trap crops provide livestock fodder, diversifying farm benefits and income.
