Few aspects: pre- sown, mid course and post-harvest advisories, soil health service, water and nutrients management, general package of practices, problem soils remedies, insects-pests forecasting, market intelligent systems, forewarning systems, weather-based agro-advisories etc
specific examples of successes at regional scales
Most of decision tools are preliminary or very crude or based on simple thum rules
Large useful information available, but scattered, not collated on common decision platform
Special section to be created for problem/degraded lands
Problem in yield forecasting in areas under intensive agriculture or for tropical/sub-tropical geographies
Contrasting results sometimes available in published literature, bring us at confused platform, possibly in a hurry to publish results by some of the research groups
Central platform of knowledge dissemination most of the time missing
Isolated subject matter research outputs, not collated for a systems' approach
May i am indicating more negative points, in order to create discussion, although significant research being/has been done by most of the researchers
Need of advanced computational methods/professionals to create DSS, effective to integrate relational layers and crop simulation tools for the decision making
