Farmer participatory research in cassava technology transfer in India
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81980
Abstract
The concept and methodology used in the transfer of technology (TOT) have undergone changes over the years corresponding to farmers' needs, and as a result, farmer participatory TOT has become more relevant, especially in complex diversified risk-prone (CDR) farming systems. The TOT in cassava, which largely belongs to the CDR farming system in…

Abstract
As calls for bolstering environmental services on croplands have grown more insistent during the past two decades, the search for ways to foster sustainable, reduced input agriculture has become more urgent. In this context we re-examine by means of a meta-analysis the argument, first proposed by Robert McC.…

Abstract
Downscaled climate model projections from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) were used to force a dynamic vegetation agricultural model (Agro-IBIS) and simulate yield responses to historical climate and two future emissions scenarios for maize in the U.S. Midwest and wheat in southeastern Australia. In…
