IRRl Discussion Paper Series<br />

The IRRI Discussion Paper Series was created as a flexible means for IRRI<br />

scientists to share information with specialized institutions and individu-<br />

als. Each paper is produced from camera-ready copy supplied by <strong>the</strong> au-<br />

thor and is processed through IRRI's Communication and Publications<br />

Services. The papers are read for typographical accuracy only and are not<br />

subjected to <strong>the</strong> normal IRRI editing or peer review processes.<br />

The series is intended to be a fast means of presenting preliminary<br />

results of <strong>research</strong> still in progress, but which could be of immediate use to<br />

olhers. 'Ihe series also contains special project reports, consortia and net-<br />

work reports, short proceedings or reports of meetings and workshops,<br />

recommendations from a particular workshop, and similar materials.<br />

IRRI invites feedback from readers, which will be useful to <strong>the</strong> au-<br />

thors when <strong>the</strong>y are refining <strong>the</strong>ir materials for formal publication in jour-<br />

nals or as monographs.<br />
