Can PPT Help Farmers Adapt to Climate Change?
Yes! It helps with climate adaptation:
Desmodium enriches the soil and suppresses weeds.
The PPT improves soil moisture retention.
Trap crops provide livestock fodder, diversifying farm benefits and income.

Integrating vegetables into a push-pull plot is not only possible but highly beneficial—if done correctly. The key is to maintain the core layout:
🌱 Desmodium between maize rows and
🌾 Brachiaria or Napier grass along the borders.
