Abstract (AB)	The Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Institute (MSIRI) maintains a Library and Scientific Information Service to serve the research staff. Major responsibilities are the acquisition, collection, evaluation and dissemination of information required to support the research and development program. After a brief discussion of the internal lines of communication within the institute, this paper describes the v arious communication channels (e.g. talks, meetings, visits, demonstrations, field days, publications) which are utilized for the transfer of research results into practice. The creation of Farmers' Service Centers has allowed an improvement of the linkage between MSIRI and small planters.
