Mother-Baby Trial Design
The mother-baby trial design is an on-farm experimental architecture, formalized by Sieglinde Snapp in 2002, that resolves the long-standing tension between statistical rigor and wide farmer participation in agricultural research. A small number of replicated 'mother' trials carry the complete set of treatments under good management and provide the controlled, analyzable comparison; surrounding them, a large number of simple 'baby' trials, each on a farmer's own field and each testing only a subset of the treatments against the farmer's usual practice, sample the real variation in conditions and capture farmer evaluation at scale. Linking the two — the mother for precision, the babies for breadth and realism — yields both defensible treatment estimates and credible evidence about how technologies perform and are judged across many real farms.
