We take stock of some promising types of varietal change in four ICRISAT mandate crops-sorghum, pearl millet, pigeonpea, and groundnut. We discuss the role of economists in integrating information systematically from several sources to assess researchable problems and alternative solutions in crop improvement research in the third section. We conclude with an evaluation of the ability of the economist to respond to the challenge of interdisciplinary research. 1983 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/4219/1/CP_247.pdf Walker, T S and Singh, R P (1983) Improved Seeds Of Change In Dryland Agriculture: Promise And Implications For Economics Research.
