Impact of infestation by parasitic weeds on rice farmers' productivity and technical efficiency in sub-Saharan Africa
Rice production is crucial for food security and income generation in sub-Saharan Africa. However, productivity and technical efficiency levels in rice production systems are severely constrained by biotic constraints such as parasitic weeds. This paper assesses the impact of infestation...
