A decade of on-farm data about improved cereal and legume cropping in Mexico.

ABSTRACT: This data descriptor presents a decade-long agronomic dataset collected between 2012 and 2022 by extension agents across Mexico as part of CIMMYT's on-farm experimentation network. Extension agents used a unified digital logbook platform (BEM, later e-Agrology) to record agronomic activities, farm operations, and results. After multi-stage cleaning and validation, the dataset comprises 69,008 logbooks from 10,763 innovation plots testing new technologies, 10,305 control plots under conventional management, and 47,940 extension plots adopting sustainable practices. Key variables cover crop management (including sowing and harvest dates), resource use (including inputs, fuel and labor), activity costs, market prices, and yields for maize (Zea mays), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), wheat (Triticu
