• Agriculture Field Experiments Information System (AFEIS) is an initiative of ICAR - IASRI with its roots in erstwhile all India scheme namely National Index of Field Experiments (NIFE) initiated in the year 1955.

• NIFE was started at the recommendations of FAO experts with the objective of collecting and systematically maintaining, at a central place, the experimental data of agricultural field experiments conducted at various research centres of the country.

• The information on experiments were published in the form of compendium volumes for each state of the country.

• Three series of volumes, separately for each state of the country, were published for the periods namely 1948-53, 1954-1959 and 1960-1965.

• The publication was discontinued mainly due to the need of reducing the time lag in the conduct of the experiment and making its result available to the users.

• Centralized storage for accurate and consistent information to farmers, planners and researchers.

• AFEIS was initiated to create and maintain a computerized information system that manages agricultural field experiments data efficiently.

• The operational aspect of AFEIS was to input data into the system, store, process, retrieve, provide statistical analysis and also maintain the system by updating and deleting obsolete and redundant data.

• The experimental data was collected from regional centers located at different Agricultural Universities/ State Departments of Agriculture and then forwarding the collected data to IASRI.

With the developments in the field of computers by way of introduction of high speed big memory computers and advanced computing technologies, AFEIS was made online to enter and edit the experimental information by the experimenters.

•Experiment No. 1: Response of nutrients (N,P and K) on farmer’s field (from 2010-11)

•Experiment No. 2: Intensification/diversification of the existing cropping system (from 2013-14)

•Experiment No. 3: Agronomic management practices for sustainable system (from 2011-12)
