Microcomputers and programmable calculators for agricultural research in developing countries
The potential contribution of hand-held programmable calculators and microcomputers to agricultural research in developing countries is explored in this report, based on an international conference held in 5/82 at Michigan State University (MSU) on specific country and/or institutional issues, and on work performed by faculty and graduate students of MSU"s Department of Agricultural Economics on cost-effective data collection, management, and analysis techniques.
