Abstract
It has been suggested that agricultural scientists in developing countries are more willing to pursue lines of pure research established abroad, than to work on more applied problems of farm production. This note examines the criteria used by agricultural scientists, working at four Brazilian universities in two distinct subfields, to select research topics. The evidence presented here contradicts this accepted view. On the contrary, Brazilian scientists tend to choose research topics which they perceive to be directly relevant to local agricultural problems.
