The themes covered in this directory include*:
Farm-level profitability of increased use of improved seed, inorganic
fertilizer, and other inputs
Analysis of the potential and use of integrated soil fertility systems
that include minimum tillage and other conservation farming methods
The economics of agricultural marketing systems and their implications
for agricultural input use, including the organization and performance of
both input and output marketing systems
Links between agricultural input use and soil fertility and natural resource
management, including factors that affect the attractiveness of more intensive
input use, and impacts of increased input use on soil fertility and other
natural resources
*Some of the following documents do not focus on inputs and crop management
per se, but they include substantial discussion of technology use and/or
input market development and policy issues.
