The aim of the project was to pilot cost-effective interactions via the internet that aided learning and decision
making for farmers, their advisors, and scientists. These interactions were centred on soil monitoring and
computer based crop simulation.
This publication describes an internet based approach which has demonstrated potential to provide timely, cost-effective
interactions between researchers and remotely situated farmers.
