Abstract
The International Benchmark Sites Network for Agrotechnology Transfer (IBSNAT) project has established an international network of co-operating farming systems researchers. A decision support system that includes a number of crop models and databases has been developed to assist in the evaluation of new agrotechnology packages in the tropics and sub-tropics. Standards have been established for the recording of "minimum data sets' from field experiments to allow the crop models to be validated for specific sites. The decision support system, still under active development, has the potential to reduce substantially the time and cost of field experimentation necessary for adequate evaluation of new cultivars and new crop management systems. -Authors
