In eastern Africa, termites are perceived by farmers, livestock keepers, and many development agencies as serious agricultural pests that destroy pasture, crops and wooden infrastructure. Commonly use control measures have proven to be ineffective. When the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Fo...

Integrated termite management for improved rainwater management: A synthesis of selected African experiences
Termite infestation is symptomatic of severe land degradation in many semi-arid regions of the Nile Basin. One characteristic of land degradation is low organic matter (OM) reserves in vegetative biomass and soil. One consequence is excessive rainwater depletion through non-productive evaporation...

Improving agricultural water productivity through integrated termite management
Rangeland degradation attributed to overgrazing, termite activity and deforestation has resulted in the development of large bare surfaces locally known as “Biharamata” in Nakasongola District. Devoid of adequate vegetation cover, the rangelands are associated with reduced water infiltration, acc...

Improving agricultural water productivity through integrated termite management
Seasonal water fluctuations both in quality and quantity negatively affect livestock production and subsequently reduce livestock-water productivity (LWP) in rainfed pastoral production systems. This study aimed at assessing the effects of improved catchment and surface water management on LWP an...
