Participatory
Ecology Training:
A
Field Guide for IPM Training
Nanang
Budiyanto, 2000
This
Guide is based on field work carried out over a period of more than 5
years in Indonesia. The 18 exercises have also been used as part of
IPM training courses in China, Bangladesh and Thailand. In March 2000
the author presented the Field Guide to trainers from 9 countries at a
workshop on 'Science and Farmers'. These trainers are now using
the Guide, adapting the exercises and developing new materials.
The
document has diagrams and tables on every page and, as a result, it
takes up a lot of space. To make it easier to download it has been
split into 6 pdf files. You
will need an Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print these files. The
software can be downloaded free of charge from this address:
