Dr. Carama has collected the three statements. Click on the three title pages to see them.
Cultural Practices
New varieties, fertilizers, and agro-chemicals require new cultural
practices. Farmers who adopt these new technologies therefore need
information on subjects such as planting times, spacing, water management,
tillage, and rotations.
Crop Protection
New pests, diseases, and weeds are constant threats to crop production.
Farmers need continually updated information on subjects such as IPM and new
agro-chemicals if they are to maintain food production, increase incomes,
and protect the environment.
Post-Harvest Technologies
Many farmers lose a significant portion of their production after
harvesting. In order to minimize such losses, they need information on
subjects such as warehousing, refrigeration, packaging, and transport.
