Designing and communicating improvements in farm applications of risk information products: Multiple cropping

Abstract

We started Sect. III.2.5.(δ) with the statement that risk information products are building stones of agrometeorological services (also Stigter 2005; Rathore and Stigter 2007). An example from Nigeria for intercropping was shown by Stigter et al. (2005). This picture for multiple cropping was drawn for Africa as early as 15 years ago (Oluwasemire et al. 1995) but for China only recently (Stigter et al. 2008). © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
