Abstract/Description
This study aims to assess methods for farmer-led yield estimation in decentralized on-farm trials, addressing whether farmers can accurately collect data. Key research questions involve evaluating yield estimation techniques and farmer accuracy without extensive training.
Methodology: We tested volumetric and weighing methods for maize and cocoa yield estimation with 40 farmers in different locations in Ghana.
