Triadic Comparisons of Technologies (tricot) is an approach to test crop varieties and other technologies on-farm under realistic conditions. Tricot is a ready-made methodology serving both research and the dissemination of varieties and other technologies and practices in highly variable areas. It provides a means to link technology development of research institutes to real-life experiences of farmers. It is supported by a digital platform that can be found at www.climmob.net.

This publication provides a description of the methodology with guidelines for its implementation in the field.
