Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that the lot of resource-poor farmers in underdeveloped countries can be improved only by better technology transfer. There is, however, less agreement on how this transfer is to be effected under field conditions. This article reviews a sophisticated modelling system which provides an agricultural decision support system which has the all-important merit of allowing the individual farmer to exercise a choice.Keywords
