easy-to-read primer shows farmers how to manage two of the major
pests of maize-stem borers and striga weed-in the eastern and
southern Africa region without the useof chemical pesticides.
The ‘push-pull’ strategy is a novel system of intercropping designed
to manage the agroecohabitat for higher maize yields,while at

fields and is an affordable, appropriate and socially acceptable
technology for use by Africa’s farmers.
