Description
Kenya Sandponic Sweetpotato Seeds Farm demonstrates how growing sweetpotatoes in sand can save water and boost yields. In collaboration with KEPHIS and CIP, this farm tested the cost-effectiveness of sandponics versus soil for producing sweetpotato seeds. Results showed a 21.8% higher multiplication rate and a 22.7% reduction in production costs. This study highlights sandponics as a more sustainable and affordable method for sweetpotato farming in Africa, especially for specific genotypes like Ejumula.
