Merit, Accomplishment, Talent and Achievement: Pillars of Agricultural Research

The principal purpose of this book is to enlighten agricultural scientists, students, teachers, research leaders and policy-makers about the true meaning and interrelationship of merit, accomplishment, talent and achievement. The book draws attention to important contributions that are sometimes inadequately recognized, including long-term field investigations, development of location-specific technologies, institution-building, teamwork, mentoring, extension activities and sustained interaction with farmers.
