(d) strengthen intemal linkages (research-farmer-extension) through farmer participation in setting research objectives and evaluating its results, to ensure research relevance and to accelerate the dissemination of research results: (e} strengthen extemal linkages and support the participation of Malian institutions and scientists funded through NARC in regional and intemational collaborative research programs; (1) strengthen human resourcas development and management and provide in-country and overseas training; and (g) rehabilitate and renew research plant and equipment.

Country/countries: Burkina Faso; Statement of objectives/abstract: Begun in 1977, this proect has sought to make available to farmers in Burkina Faso cowpea varieties that are high in yield; better suited to semiarid zones; resistant to disease, insect pests, and Striga; and acceptable to growers. Ebven years of research have made i possible to put at the disposal of extension workers and farmers varieties that are high in yield and resistant to ine mast common insect pests, as well as to disease, drought, and Stnga, in each of the three agroclimatic zones of the country. Average yields from these varieties are at last double those of traddional average yields. However, the new varieties are still greatly influenced by climatic factors (erratic rains, high temperatures), insects, disease, and Strga infestations; furthermore. they cannot be used in mixedirotation cropping with cereals, which is the most comrronly practised method of cultivation. Phase IV will involve a multidisciplinary approach designed to ensure he transfer of the resistance of certain local varieties to drought, Strga, and high temperatures, to newly selWcted vaneties aid their screening for mixed/rotation cropping.

However. drehulling and griding has been identid by women as a constraint to the use of these grains. The first phase of ths proect devebped two dehullers (the MINI-CIS I and 11) for rural and urban grain processing. AIthough technically viable in many villges, field testing indicated that the villge dehuller was not economicaly viable in many vuages. The relatively high cost ot dehulling, due to the high cost of the equipwent, made it unaffordable to women. This second phase project will involve the develpment of techndogigral packages for rural. semiurban. and urban loations appropnate for mills using the MINI CIS I and 11 dehullers. These will be tested to determine the conditons of their viable and sustainable operation. Specifically, it will design and lest in the laboratory an improved dehuller; develop the methodology to start a production tine for the manufacture of a number of dehulers; lield lest the dehullers; and evaluate their appropriateness with respect to people's needs and acceptance.

With a C/N ratio ol 17 this plant produced 2 900 cubic centimeters d biogas'day/l of fermented liquid with 59 per cent of methane with a charge rate of 4 per cent. A buffer system based on clacinated vegetable allows for the correction of the very acid fermentation of C. procera. The next phfise of research wltl be to increase the digester from I to two liters. and then to 30 liters. Biogas produced from a mixture of C. procera and animal droppings from our farm may permit heating for 1 000 to 1 500 chicks a year at our station.

Approximately 90% ol the population are farmers. Income-producing activities are scarce and vegetable products are generally their onty source of income. The extracton, marketing, and processing of vegetable Ois of varying quality is the main activty. However, extraction and development techniques are rudirnentary and do not bring profits. This prmoct wiN improve these techniques by mechanizing some operations thus reducing the effort and increase the extraction yieid. The project will also study certain oil processing techniques. such as the production of soap and other household products. Specifically. it will carry out market studies: develop appropriate oil-extracting technologies: classify the oil; develop new nonedible vegetable oil-based products; and carry out an economic analysis of the activities.

INTSOY once served as a clearinghouse for a worldwide system for soybean germpasm. The international nursery part of INTSOY is caled ISVEX (Intemational Soybean Variety Experimrenl) and was started at the i"ception of INTSOY in 1973. It was terminated in 1985 with 132 countries having participaled in ISVEX. By 1986. INTSOY had completely shifted the focus of its work to finding new ways to process and use soybeans as human and livestock food. INTSOY is now concentrating on a three-phase soybean utilization effort for the period 1985-1991 as follows: Phase l: Intensified research to develop new soy products and processes: Phase II: Development of simple 'how to manuals and equipment lists for less developed countries and entrepreneurs interested in production of soy foods on a smagl or large commercial scale; Phase Ill: On-site technical assistance in soybean utilization for govemments and private firms in less developed countries. The primary goal is to improve human nutition through increased use of whole soybeans. Some specitic programs/projects include: {a) collaboration with the Department of Food Science at the University of Illinois lo develop new ways to process and use whole soybeans for human food; (b) combined soybean/grain. soybearnvegetable. and soybeantfruit foods produced by extrusion cooking; (c) a simple low-cost process to produce a high-quality soymilk with no patent restricVions; (d) immature green soybeans as a commercially viable high-protein green vegetable; (e) simple processes for converting soybean residues into animal feed: and (f) home- and vilage-level procedures for preparing soybean products for home consumption. 200 SPAAR h*omioi S Conact ' resaid oganizabon: lb.

He will study the time-span alowed before preservation is needed for raw milk to which hydrogenic peroxide and/or thiocyanate was added. The effect of the added products on the aptitudeof this milk for transformation (production of yoghurt, cheese) will be studied. It is expected that this project wil confirm the effiency of this preservation system and thal the amounts of preservatives to be used will be determined. 207 U~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SPAAR IrEnam Sysbrn Conlt in research orgization: IDr fise OlUATTARA; kIstituA du Developpenent Rural: Institut des Sciencs de la Nalue; S P 7021; OUAGADOUGOt; Btzkina Faso Record ber MFN): 05488 Offici proed bte: SOCK)-ECONOMICAL IMPACT OF SOIL SAIJNIZATION IN CASAMANCE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TWO VALLEYS (DJIGUINOUM AND KOUBALAN) Implmenig agency: Intemational Foundation for Scence.

In order to ameliorate and maintain the tree species it is advocated to selWct and utilize trees that are resistant to the attaks of the borer.

Country/counbes: Mali; Statement of objectmJabstract: Fond securty of large parts of Sub-Saharan Atnca is threatened especially by the inceasing popuation whie agriculural produchon in the rgion stageates. The production lve is mainly determined by ao-ecg l factors (soi frity. water supply, temperature and day 61t) which determine the maxrntum agncultural output that can be sustained in a particular area. This is caled the 'carrying cw-- W. In addiromn, socio-economic factors (rights of land-use, availabiiqy ot I * chnical aids, credit, artificial ferzer) as well as cultual values and conditi.ns play a role in determining actual agricultural output. An ! - ; element of sustaining agricultural production i ensuring adequate nutrient appwtdbon to counterbalance nutrient losses by transfer of crops, emsion. Artificial ferilizers are costly and its availability often problematic. Therefora, optimum use should be made of avaiable organic nutient sources which need to be supplemented by artdicial fertdizer.The objective of the project is to identify sustainabb and economiLa#ly feasible systems to increase catue production in the semi-arid areas of Sub-Saharmn Africa. The semi-arid area in Mall repreentats a larger area in the West African region. This research project wi assess sustainability and output of animal production with various bvels of external 234 SPMR Inforation System wqxs. The base wdl be organrc ferbtlizers such as organic manure, egumos plts, peennial rasses and woody plants. Artficial fertdizer is supplmented in order to mainbin sustainabitty of the production system. Input and output of these systems are assessed in finarcial terms.
