Investigación en sistemas de producción (FSR) y su contribución al desarrollo rural en América Latina: un análisis de experiencias, abril 22-26, 1985

This paper describes the methodological aspects and results of an area specific on-farm research (OFR) program implemented (1978-1983) in the area of Caisan (Panamá) under the leadership of the Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias de Panamá (IDIAP) with technical support from CIMMYT. Special emphasis is given to the links between the assessment of farmer circumstances and the identification of promising research opportunities, as well as to the integration of survey and experimental results at the end of each crop cycle, leading to recommendations for farmers, for policy makers and for future on-farm and station research. Farmers' adoption of the technologies generated and the cost efficiency of the OFR methods involved are also briefly assessed in the paper. Finally, the contribution of the Caisan experiencies for the development of national OFR operations within IDIAP is described
