Description

Searches needed:

The [first search with Elicit](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/490zojbx4l696jwkx59c6/260421_Elicit-Correlating-Farmer-Preferences-and-Yield-in-Crop-T-Report.docx?rlkey=jczpo1mt0oopse8w6ndif43tw&dl=0) covered one specific angle: whether farmer ratings align with yield data in participatory trials.

"On-farm variety testing investment and farmer adoption outcomes"
"Why do improved crop varieties fail to be adopted by farmers"
"Farmer trait preferences versus breeder selection criteria crop improvement"
"Economic cost of crop variety adoption failure breeding programs"
"Crop variety adoption without farmer participation Green Revolution conventional breeding"
"Sample size statistical power on-farm crop variety trials"

We should also be ready for the possibility that things may not work out and that on-farm testing may not be worth any budget allocation. In some cases, this may be true (Eike mentioned the Green Revolution; farmers just adopted it). SO:

"High crop variety adoption without participatory breeding or farmer involvement"
