In response to increased demand for in situ bio-physical data on agroforestry systems and components, this paper discusses two methodologies for collecting such data. Presented first are practical guidelines for using a grid transect method to collect information on single, established multipurpose trees. Methods are outlined for studying multipurpose tree growth, phenology, production characteristics, and compatibility with other plants. Second, a new approach is proposed for adapting experimental techniques originally designed for on-station experimentation to on-farm situations. The approach involves random samples of natural conditions on-farm for ecological treatments, with added manipulations for interference treatments. Finally, this ecological approach is compared with conventional research designs. The author claims that the experimental approach is perceived as more relevant by farmers, thus encouraging greater farmer participation. Includes 11 figures.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
