Water management options for malaria and climate change mitigation in intensified rice production in Cote d'Ivoire

CGIAR Research Program on Rice. 2020. Water management options for malaria and climate change mitigation in intensified rice production in Cote d'Ivoire. Reported in Rice Annual Report 2020. Innovations.

We are developing a water management approach for reducing the transmission potential of malaria, greenhouse gas emission, water use while increasing rice yield in the research station of Africa Rice Center located at Mbe, Côte d'Ivoire. We found that wet direct sowing increased mosquito density compared to transplanting.
