Blending "hard" and "soft" science: The "follow-the-technology" approach to catalyzing and evaluating technology change por Douthwaite, Boru, Haan, Nicoline C. de, Manyong, Victor M., Keatinge, J.D.H.

“…Conceptual models for developing and delivering high-yielding varieties have proven inadequate for delivering natural resource management (NRM) technologies that are adopted in farmers' fields. Successful INRM requires tools and approaches that can blend the technical with the social, so that people from different disciplines and social backgrounds can effectively work and communicate with each other. …”

Improved soil fertiliy increases nodulation of Phaseolus beans por Lupwayi, N.Z., Mkandawire, A.B.C.

“…A split-plot design consisting of (a) un-inoculated plants, (b) inoculated plants and (c) N-fertilized plants as main-plot treatments and (i) low fertility (no additional nutrients applied) and (ii) high fertility (P, S, and Mo applied) was adopted. Nodulation was highest at Sokola (84 nodules per plant) and lowest on an acid soil at Lunyangwa (11 nodules per plant). …”
