Rice production is a key revenue generator for Mali, yet technology for biological control of rice pathogens is lacking. Since domestic production of biopesticides can generate economic savings and increased revenue, this policy brief provides recommended actions to be considered as part of a multi-prong approach to the scaleup of biopesticide use. The research included in this brief was led by Dr. Amadou Hamadoun Banana at Université des Sciences, des Techniques, et des Technologies in Bamako, Mali.
