    Accelerated wheat production in semi-arid developing regions
    (CIMMYT, 1980) Byerlee, D.; Winkelmann, D.L.
    This paper focuses on wheat production in the semi-arid regions (SARs) of selected developing countries. It is divided into three main parts. We begin by providing a perspective on what has happened in wheat production in the recent past, particularly in SARs and follow with evidence on projected demand increases and the potential for increasing wheat production in these areas. The second section then analyses economic considerations affecting farmers' choice among alternative technologies again with particular reference to the SARs. We conclude by drawing some implications for agricultural research policy.

    Planning technologies appropriate to farmers: concepts and procedures
    (CIMMYT, 1988) Winkelmann, D.L.; Biggs, S.; Moscardi, E.R.; Martinez, J.C.; Harrington, L.W.; Benjamin, A.; Byerlee, D.; Collinson, M.P.
    We have prepared this Manual for professionals involved in research on improving agricultural technology for farmers. We believe that it will be useful to both biological scientists and social scientists and that parts of the Manual, especially Chapters 1, 2, 4, 11, and 12 will also be of interest to those who administer agricultural research programs. Agricultural research should have as one of its basic purposes the formulation of technologies which can be widely used by farmers. Our purpose in this manual is to present procedures which will facilitate that effort, particularly in the planning stage. Two themes are central to the Manual. The first is that effective research on agricultural technology starts and finishes with the farmer. The second is that integration of the perceptions of biological scientists and social scientists is an essential element in such research.
