FARMER-MANAGED TRIAL
❑ LOCATIONS: SAMARU, BAKURA & MINJIBIR ❑ FARMERS: SIX IN EACH LOCATION ❑ EACH FARMER: TESTS LOCAL, TRANSGENIC & NON TRANSGENIC ❑ EACH FARMER APPLY TWO INSECTICIDE SPRAYS ONLY ❑ EACH FARMER MANAGES CROP THEIR WAY

▪ No significant difference between GM and non-GM (P >0.1)
Mineral Composition
▪ No significant difference between GM and non-GM (P> 0.1)
Phytic acid
▪ No significant difference between GM and non-GM (P> 0.7) ▪ The gene is not similar to any gene(s) known to cause
allergenicity
▪ Gene has long history of safe use in many crops (over 20
years)

At least 20% yield increase per
- hectare. Translates to forty-eight
billion naira (N48,000, 000,000.0) annually @ N120,000.0 per tonne
SLIDE 28
Reduction of Insecticide spray requirement from 6-8 litre per hectare to 2-3 litre per hectare @ N1200.0 per litre = N5400.0 reduction in production cost per hectare planted with PBR Cowpea, if of the 3million hectares 1million is planted to PBR Cowpea the savings from cost of insecticide is sixteen billion and two hundred million naira (N16,200, 000,000.0) annually

Healthier environment from reduced insecticide spray-Beneficial Insects and other
- rganisms in the ecosystem
Reduced human health risk-more productive farming population

Development of farmer-type Bt Cowpea accomplished in full compliance with regulatory requirement The Bt gene bred into Cowpea is very efficacious against Maruca Pod borer Farmer assessment of the new PBR variety reveals endorsement among participating farmers due to its benefits Over 48 Billion naira gain will be made by planting 1 out of every 3 hectares of cowpea as Bt Cowpea in Nigeria
