Abstract

At present, losses to the millet crop of Sahelian subsistence farmers are seldom adequately monitored, yet an assessment of such losses is essential in evaluating the effects of and need for different farming inputs and methods. Millet Crop-Loss Assessment Methods offers a range of assessment techniques, each presented as a sequence of steps, including sampling, calculation interpretation and comparative accuracy. Choice of the most appropriate method will depend on government or farmer needs, time constraints and available skills. This publication will be of interest to all those involved in practical agricultural research and extension work in semi-arid areas, either at the level of the individual farmer or village or at the regional and national level of policy evaluation.
