| Abstract:
At the moment there is often a considerable difference between actual crop production and its potential level. It has been recognized that this difference could be reduced by good management. Such management would require several measures including the very important improvement of water status i.e. irrigation, drainage, etc. For proper management right decisions have to be taken at regular intervals. These decisions involve both daily management and decisions taken in accordance with farm policy which have longer term effects. Decisions are based on information the farmer accumulated through his own observations, internal and external information services, the media and so on (figure 1). The appropriateness of the decisions taken will depend heavily on the quality of the information obtained, as well as on the way the farmer can convert this information into optimal management. | |
