Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020 Survey (IHS5)

The microdata has plot level data on crops grown (maize) during rainy and dimba seasons, GPS coordinates, maize varieties used, planting period, garden measurement, cultivation practices (weeing), cropping patterns (sole, mixed), farm inputs (fertilizer use), pests and pesticides use, yields

From the IHS5 data set, we will have crop specific data on pest and pest management for these crops: Maize, Cassava, groundnuts, Bananas and tomato. Below are the tables of interest:

  1. Proportion of gardens planted with Maize, Cassava, groundnuts, Bananas and tomato
  2. Distribution of maize gardens attached by maize pest type
  3. Area plated with crop type by district
  4. Pesticide used to treat maize attacked by pest type
  5. Distribution of cassava gardens attached by cassava pest type
  6. Pesticide used to treat cassava attacked by pest type
  7. Distribution of cassava gardens attached by cassava pest type
  8. Pesticide used to treat cassava attacked by pest type
  9. Distribution of groundnuts gardens attached by groundnut pest type
  10. Pesticide used to treat groundnuts attacked by pest type
  11. Distribution of Banana gardens attached by banana pest type
  12. Pesticide used to treat Banana attacked by pest type
  13. Distribution of Tomato gardens attached by tomato pest type
  14. Pesticide used to treat tomato attacked by pest type

Purpose
