Four years of on-farm research results at Chalco, Mexico

The purpose of this special report is to record the on-farm research activities conducted around the area of Chalco, in the High Valley of Mexico, from 1986-1990. The research was conducted as part of the CIMMYT Wheat Crop Management Research Training Program. The results are presented as tables for each trial type, plus a small discussion for each year summarizing results and reasons for some of the research strategy and treatments used. Recommendations for farmers have already been generated by the Mexican National program (INIF AP) from the data. It is hoped that the work can be used as a case study to analyze and critique an on-farm research program.
