The task of land preparation and weeding can be made less labour demanding through improved hoes, row planting, draught animal powered rippers, harrows and planters. Single axle tractor equipment is a specific option that could fit if service-infrastructure and farmer capacities are dealt with. Weed wipes and knapsack sprayer technology with herbicides can eliminate the task of weeding to a large extend if applied in the context of reduced or minimum tillage systems such as raised beds and conservation agriculture.
