This volume of abstracts of SEARCA scholars, master's theses and doctoral dissertations, a sequel to the first one published in 1980, serves several purposes. One, it constitutes an invaluable source of scientific information contributed by Southeast Asian scholars. Two, most of the studies are unpublished and hence, this volume is a valuable record of their existence. Three, this publication is a handy reference for students, teachers, scholars, researchers, extension agents, and policymakers in agriculture and related fields.
