# Planning a tricot experiment

## Problem Identification
- Defining research questions and objectives.
- Understanding the target farming system.

## Stakeholder Engagement
- Roles of researchers, extension agents, local facilitators, and farmers.
- Building partnerships (e.g., with NGOs, genebanks, seed companies).

## Resources and Budgeting
- Required materials (e.g., seeds, observation tools, digital platforms).
- Time and financial planning.

From a demand led perspective breeders are interested in good information on the suitability of improved varieties within the livelihoods of the users and therefore want to know the user preferred crop characteristics. To get good information it is therefore important to get this from experienced people that are skilled in farming but also with regards to processing of the crop into the food products and their quality as well as the marketing of the crop. Importantly storability of food products as well as fresh roots tubers and bananas are important in the last instance. E.g if men are are hardly involved into processing cassava into gari , a breeder will not be interested much in men’s preferences with relation to processing because they will not always be able to give correct hands on experience-based knowledge because they do not possess the skill. Men in this case might have indirect knowledge about it (e.g. through their spouses), but certainly not the embodied skills.

A bad example of how participants got chosen is a farce case where someone wanted to work with mango farmers and ended up with only male participants of which non had a mango tree field. When later confronting these participants with this, the village chief and his friends all claimed to have a mango tree in their backyard. It is obvious that a tricot with such participants will not yield the best information.

# Standard operating procedure

A crop protocol provides a standardised overview of the basic information that will be collected during a crop tricot trial. The protocol provides an overview of the data collection moments during the trials and the variables and traits collected at each data collection moment. Farmers evaluate varieties in their on-farm trials and provide comparative observations by ranking the varieties based on their performance throughout their growth and post-harvest qualities including taste and consumption preferences.
