%X In order to estimate minted crop production budgets under farmers'   conditions in central Upper Volta, the ICRISAT West Africa Economics   Program undertook a farm-management study in 1980 at Nakamtenga and   Nabitenga, two villages 35 kilometers (km) northeast of Ouagadougou   (see Matlon 1980a and Matlon 1980b for a description of the general  objectives of the study). In the course of the study, it was observed   that farmers used various types of animal manures--pig, sheep, goat,   cattle, donkey, chicken--in their Nelda. As a management practice   with potentially important effects on productivity, manure use seemed   to warrant a more detailed analysis.
