This study aims at providing managers of agricultural research programs in developing countries with some guidelines for research resource allocation. Although various formal models are reviewed, the approach is a pragmatic ...

On-farm research is a problem-oriented approach to agricultural research that begins by diagnosing the conditions, practices, and problems of particular groups of farmers. Once the problems are identified, a research program ...

In cooperation with researchers in Many national agricultural research programs, CIMMYT has sought to develop procedures which help to focus agricultural research squarely on the needs of farmers. The process involves ...

Economists are often called upon to analyse experimental data in order to formulate appropriate recommendations for farmers. The data may be analysed as a set of discrete points or it may be possible to represent the data ...

This paper contains suggestions for improving data collection during on-farm experimentation. Besides providing agronomic data, the experimental phase of on-farm research can be a source of other valuable information. ...

This paper provides a thorough examination of the concept of; the recommendation domain. It outlines the use of the concept in different stages of on-farm research, pro; vides examples of recommendation domains as used in ...

This publication consists of sixteen exercises which are used in teaching the economic analysis of on-farm experimentation CIMMYT trainees. The exercises focus on the construction of partial budgets and the techniques of ...

When conducting fontal surveys for the purpose of helping focus on-farm agronomic experiments, experience indicates that a relatively small sample of farmers is normally sufficient for a given recommendation domain or ...
