Description Successful transfer of agrotechnology from research station to farmers' fields or
from one country to another depends on matching the requirements of a c r o p to
the characteristics of its environment and the resources of the farmer. The
International Benchmark Sites Network for Agrotechnology Transfer (IBSNAT)
was established to increase both the speed and the success rate of technology
transfer, using systems analysis and computer simulation models to eliminate the
guesswork of trial-and-error transfer methods.
The minimum data set needed to simulate crop requirements in relation to soil,
climate, and management, so as to predict crop performance, was discussed at
an international symposium in March 1983. Fifty-six scientists from regional,
national, and international research centers chose ten crops for study across a
worldwide network of experimental sites. As a result of the symposium a minimum
data set applicable to several crops has been circulated to IBSNAT cooperators.
Agronomists and crop modelers are jointly designing field experiments to test the
adequacy of this data set and to determine more precisely the additional data
needed for each crop and for its adaptation to different environments.
The proceedings make available much current information about crop models
and simulation models of climate, crops, and soils and should be of interest to
many agricultural and biological scientists.
ICRISAT is pleased to accept responsibility for publishing the proceedings of
this symposium.
