| Abstract | As part of its commitment to provide continuous support to the more than 2500 families using a biogas digester build by Initiative Développement (ID), the NGO has engaged in a one year study focused on optimising the management of biogas digesters, as well as researching the various uses of the bio-slurry. In particular, ID has researched how the bio-slurry could be used by the households as a pesticide. Three families were recruited amongst ID's biogas beneficiaries and made a plot available for field trials. Two experiments were made on apple tree in Lianhe village, Sayu township, while experiment was made on tobacco in Zhongying village，Xiaolongdong township，both in Zhaotong prefecture, Yunnan province, China. The households provided bio-slurry from their own tanks as well as their usual synthetic pesticides for comparison. The experiments were held between March and August 2013 |
