Microclimate data Benin 2011
Big contrast between the two seasons
q Relative humidity near 100% during the hotseason
q Temperature too high ins ide the nets during the
dry season
>>>> Poor germination and transplant growth in
the hot season
Farmers developed innovative strategies byshading the nursery with palm leaves
