Abstract

More than 100 scientists responded to a mail survey concerning prospects for 33 technological developments related to biological nigrogen fixation. Respondents anticipated that most of the hypothesized developments in the legume/Rhizobium and rice/Azolla areas would occur in the next 10 years, while generally developments in nitrogen-fixing cereals and other research would occur later. An additional 28 technological advances were suggested by respondents. Scientists responded that the increasing cost of chemical fertilizer was the major driving force, lack of trained extension workers the major constraint, and research funding the most important issue concerning the development and adoption of the technology.
