Title A name given to the resource IMPACT OF MASTER FARMER TRAINING ON SMALLHOLDER FARMERS’ RAPOKO ELEUSINE CORACANA (L.) PRODUCTIVITY IN BUHERA DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource OSCAR NDORO CALVER MVUMI PETRONELLA MATIZANADZO SEKAI. A MANYIWO Description An account of the resource Sustainability revolves around many factors which include technological training, number of farmers trained and high yields. The study investigates impact of Master Farmer Training (MFT) on rapoko Eleusine coracana (L.) cultivation, considering in situ variables in Buhera District. A cross-sectional survey design was used among trained and non-trained farmers. Data analysis was carried out in R version 3.2.3. Chi-squared test for independence was used to confirm association between MFT and rapoko cultivation, and between household gender and rapoko cultivation. MFT had a positive influence on number of farmers (100% were master farmers (MFs), while 23% were non-master farmers (NMFs) who grew rapoko). Yields for MFs were higher than for NMFs. The values for first and second year of t were 3.37 at P < 0.01 and 10.75 at P< 0.01 respectively. MFT influenced formation of farmer groups which allowed them to get training on rapoko cultivation. More male-headed households (70%) cultivated rapoko than female-headed households (40%) Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 Gender institutional and income factors MFT influence rapoko productivity
