Title: Rice farming and the problem of wild rice in the context of farming systems in Northern Ghana: Social and economic dimensions of control.
Abstract: There were three research sites used for the purposes of collection of socio-economic data under the project: Kadia, near Tamale in the Northern Region; Gani, in the Tono irrigation scheme near Navrongo in the Upper East Region; and Fumbisi, in the Upper East Region. All three were surveyed for baseline information on farming systems, rice cultivation and the problem of O. longistaminata during the first part of the project in 1999 and 2000; Fumbisi went on to be the site for trialling of technologies for controlling O. longistaminata in 2000-2002. This was in scientist-controlled and farmer-controlled trials both on rice fields and also through a dry season vegetable growing trial.
