The best performing methods have been shown to rely on a variety of information sources to compensate for inadequacies in knowledge in any single domain.
· Disparity between the yield realized by the farmer and the potential of a cultivar in a given environment could purely be due to compounded effects of crop management deficiencies attributed to the inadequacies of knowledge and the poor management skills of the farmer.
