Teff is an important cereal crop in Ethiopia. Traditional planting approaches require high inputs and result in low yields, including postharvest loss due to the high levels of seeds used in planting. This video describes a row planting technique that reduces input costs and increases yield. One-tenth the level of teff seeds are used in row planting, as compared to the traditional planting approach, resulting in significantly more efficient use of teff grains in agricultural production.
