Abstract:

Tephrosia is established easily from seed. In fields that are heavily infested with root rats, Tephrosia plants may be planted throughout the field spaced at 3 x 3 meters while growing other crops in the same field. To prevent root rats from entering a field, plant Tephrosia around the field, with the plants spaced one meter apart. After one year, the field should be free of root rats and the Tephrosia shrubs can be removed.
