Benin
Progress
and Activities
• In 2002, Ann Elyse Merrit, previously an intern with the
NGO ECHO which had published an article
on SRI in 2001, assisted a government agriculturalist in doing
controlled trials. The SRI yield was 7.5
t/ha compared to 1.6 t/ha for traditional practice. We do
not know what further work has been done with SRI in Benin.
