# What is A/B testing? Academia has its value. For instance, much of the core work of solutions like Inga was done in proper academic structures by the Inga Foundation. But there is a still a lot of real-world regional questions to answer that may or may not be covered by the literature. This includes crops affected by climate change, economic structures, and intesections with climate credits. To the extent possible, we've documented the academic answers to questions we were able to answer, solutions like [adding rock phosphate](/practice-guide/inga-alley-cropping/inga-and-fertilizer.md) to depleted oils in Inga soil reclamation in the Andes. But some questions like direct seeding vs seedling cultivation are more site specific, and thats where A/B testing is essential. ### A/B testing as continuous improvement Academia isn't the only field that builds things or figires them out. Toyota uses continuous improvement, medicine uses randomized clinical trials, and high-tech uses A/B testing to refine things in faster cycles in the real world. ### How to run an A/B test on a farm plot --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://sexytrees.savimbo.com/practice-guide/iteration/what-is-a-b-testing.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
