This study modeled the introduction of new early cultivars of millet and cowpea, higher cowpea densities, and various fertilization strategies. Model results were then compared with farmer behaviour before and after the availability of these new technologies. The model correctly identified the tw...

Defining the relevant constraints in crop programs: data requirements to improve research resource allocation
The process of identifying the "relevant constraints" and their incidence on breeding programs and agricultural research of international centers are explained and case histories are provided on the role of these 3 types of information (macro stage, micro stage, critical inference stage) related ...

Trends and yield constraints in the production systems of beans and cassava in Latin America with emphasis on research design implications
The trials conducted by CIATs Bean Economics Program in southern Huila (Colombia) have indicated that in this region monoculture bean yields can be increased 1-1.5 t/ha through improved agronomic practices. This paper is an ex ante analysis of the effect of this new technology on farmers` income,...
Agricultural research in developing countries has lacked relevance to farm-level production problems, especially appropriate technologies for small-scale or limited-resource farmers. Currently research institutions are directing their efforts towards these objectives. This paper is a preliminary ...

A methodology is presented on how to study bean production processes and its on-farm application in Colombia. The main objectives are to identify the factors limiting production and productivity, availability and use of resources, credit, technical assistance, markets, pest and weed distribution ...

In 1976 expt. were conducted on var. trials, fertilization, insecticides, and herbicides in order to identify new technology that could be introduced into small- and intermediate-scale bean production in Honduras. Factors of a complete technological package were also discarded to identify the mos...
