abstract: One of the main sources of productivity growth in dryland
agriculture in India in the 1980s and 1990s will be varietal change.
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.
