Mechanical weeders for rice production in Sub Saharan Africa
Rotary weeders were tested in more then10 countries with rice farmers. Achieved 32 to 56% reduction in labour requirement for weeding compared to hand weeding. The most preferred weeder is the ring hoe as it is simple and gender-neutral across SSA. Rotary weeders are widely adapted in Madagascar.
