Do Integrated CMD Management Practices Increase Cassava Yields? A Local Average Treatment Effect Analysis from Burkina Faso.

Abstract

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is a major constraint to cassava production in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Burkina Faso, where it poses a serious threat to rural food security. This study examined the impact of adopting innovative cassava mosaic disease management practices on cassava yields in the Guiriko and Nando regions of Burkina Faso.
