- AGRICOLA FNI 85008260, Extract: Communicating more effectively with rural women in developing countries can help accelerate the acceptance of change. These women are and have been deprived of the information they need for problem-solving and for evaluating options before making decisions. They need information that responds to their multiple roles as parents, partners, and food producers. They need networks to link them with other women. A model of the communication process is presented, showing the variables that interact and influence communication. Attention is directed to the need to identify and differentiate audience groups, to provide information that is situationally relevant and easy to comprehend, and to use an appropriate combination of interpersonal, group and mass communication. Integrating a communication component into programs and projects is recommended. (author).

- AGRICOLA AGE 85926239, Extract: The complementary interaction between topsoil depth and technical progress for winter wheat in the Palouse region was found to strengthen the long run payoff to conservation tillage. Nonetheless, conservation tillage was found to be competitive with conventional tillage only if its current yields disadvantages were eliminated. Conservation tillage was relatively more competitive on shallower topsoils and for longer planning horizons. Short-term subsidies coupled with research directed towards reducing the cost and yield disadvantages of conservation tillage in the Palouse were advocated to maintain long-term soil productivity.
