^aData were analyzed under the assumption of a binomial distribution for each crop by country combination. When there was significant treatment × year interaction effect, a model for each year was fitted separately, where treatment was considered as fixed effect and village as random effect. Predicted means were compared and ranked using Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference Test
