6 p., The Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Instititute (MSIRI) maintains a Library and Scientific Information Service to serve the research staff. Major responsibilities are the acqusition, collection, evaluation and dissemination of information required to support the research and development program. After a brief discussion of the internal lines of communication with the Institute, this paper describes the various communication channels (e.g. talks, meetings, visits, demonstrations, field days, publications) wihich are utilized for the transfer of research results into practice. The creation of Farmers' Service Centers has allowed an improvement of the linkage between MSIRI and small planters.
