Managing AGLN crops in rice-based cropping systems: Summary proceedings of the Myanmar-AGLN

Abstract

Scientists from 11 AGLN countries, including Myanmar, and from ICRISAT, met in Yangon and Yezin and traveled through the dry zone and delta area of Myanmar in order to: Learn about and compare the management practices adopted for growing the AGLN crops, groundnut, chickpea, and pigeonpea, in rice-based cropping systems in Asia. Identify the constraints to the effective use of AGLN crops in these cropping systems. Observe the management practices used for AGLN crops in Myanmar and the constraints the farmers face when using them. Recommend ways to overcome these constraints in order to plan future AGLN activities
