Measure
Treatment: Insecticide-treated Net
n=39963 Participants
Smallholder farmers in the treatment group are informed that they won a raffle, and receive a free insecticide-treated net Insecticide-treated net (BASF Incerceptor): One per farmer, once during the 2010-2011 season
Control
n=41634 Participants
Smallholder farmers in the control group are informed that they had a chance to win an insecticide-treated mosquito net in a raffle, but did not end up winning

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 seasons (up to 2 years)

Population: Subset of study population selected for validation survey

Increase in self-reported maize productivity (yield on maize plots divided by size of maize plots), collected through validation survey; calculated as maize productivity 2010-11 minus maize productivity 2009-10, measured in bags (ordinarily 50kg bags; however, kg measure not specified)
