Data from interviews with 52 male and 72 female household heads in three small communities are used to describe cropping systems, especially for sorghum, in the Pespire region of southern Honduras and ways they can be improved to help the country out of its bleak agricultural situation. After a general introduction to Honduras and to the southern region, the region of greatest sorghum production, variants of Pespire's two main cropping systems - slash and mulch, and slash and burn (both of which use sorghum and maize, the region's two main crops) - are described, as is the cultivation of secondary crops and of pasture. The report then indicates major production constraints in Pespire and some possible solutions; seed types used in the area are characterized. The survey showed sorghum to be both a multipurpose and - due to its drought tolerance - an important risk-aversion crop. Key production constraints were identified as bird predation, storage losses (especially to C. granaria), locusts, fall army worm, and the eating of seed before it germinates by ants and termites. The survey also revealed that wide adoption of pesticides by farmers augurs well for future technology diffusi

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
