Using farmer skill and knowledge in agronomic research : a case study.

Publication year: 
1997

This paper reports on a participative research process, in which farmer knowledge was integrated with standard research techniques, to develop a method for irrigation farmers to estimate paddock water use efficiency (WUE) and accessions to the watertable. Facilitating farmer trust and involvement in the research process was seen to be particularly important given the sensitive nature of the issue of WUE.
