Within the frame of JECAM CIRAD and AGHRYMET conducted field work in the Tuy Province (approximately 6000 km²) located in the cotton region of West- Burkina Faso. The landscape is a plateau of about 300 m above sea level, with a few isolated hills of 570 m maximum height, separated by plains. The most common soil type is ferruginous tropical. The climate type is Sudanian with a rainfall of 800 to 1100 mm per year. Inter-annual rainfall variability is high, which strongly affects yields in a predominantly rainfed agriculture. The rainfall spatial variability is also important.

The land cover is composed of cultivated plots and some degraded savannahs, with a large area in reserve forests in the southern part of the province. The main crops are maize, cotton, sorghum and millet.

In 2014 and 2015, about 150 plots were followed. Most of them were in maize and sorghum.

The study area is also a JECAM site, and more information is available here: link
