This book is the proceedings for regional conference on the mechanization of field experiments held at Aleppo, Syria, in 1987. The conference, organized by IAMFE, Norway, and ICARDA, Syria, aimed at improving the accuracy and capacity of field trials and enabling most operations to be completed more quickly in West Asia, where the mechanization of cereal and legume trials is not as developed as it is in more temperate regions. The conference also provided a forum for the presentation of new and modified equipment and the results of field tests, and for the identification of subjects for future research. The book comprises 30 chapters dealing1519with national strategies for efficient mechanization of field experiments, field plot techniques, soil tillage and seedbed preparation, plot planting equipment, harvesting equipment, post-harvest seed processing, data collection and processing, supply of spare parts, training requirements for station management, national and regional experiences, machinery exhibition and demonstration, and the seminar organized to deal with mechanization of lentil and chickpea harvest.
