Abstract

Farmers learn from their own experiences. However, they are rarely sure if an exceptionally good or bad outcome is due to chance effects or whether it is due to a given combination of management practices and environmental conditions. We surmised that, if each harvest event is adequately characterized and a large number of these events are analyzed together, it should be possible to associate crop response to management within a particular set of growth conditions. We tested this hypothesis using the perennial crop, oil palm.
