Abstract
This project aimed at up-scaling the field-tested
Mechanized Raised-Bed Irrigation (MRBI)
production package in Egypt, focusing on
small-scale farming systems (see Box for explanation
of MRBI). The package included access to the MRBI
machinery for wide raised-bed planting, high-yield
disease-tolerant varieties, and extensive training for
seed applications and fertilization regimes.
Capacity-building activities for farmers included
on-the-job training, demonstration fields, and
farmer-to-farmer field visits.
