The assessment of biological aspects or potential constraints related to the adoption of
Resource Conserving Technology (zero tillage) (RCT) and Improved Varieties under the scope

In this project the approach consisted of a general monitoring of biotic constraints in the
participating villages to detect any potential beneficial or adverse effect resulting from adopting
the technologies.
