3. Go back to processing area; brainstorm in small groups and present output to big group. Conduct<br />

participatory discussion to allow sharing <strong>of</strong> experiences among participants and facilitators.<br />

Motivate farmers to share their best experiences in controlling scale insect pests at moderate<br />

infestation levels.<br />

4. Synthesize and summarize output <strong>of</strong> small groups into one big group output. Draw up<br />

conclusions and recommendations from this exercise.<br />

some suggested questions <strong>for</strong> processing discussion<br />

❏ Which areas in the plots were most concentrated with scale insect pests?<br />

❏ Which organically-grown vegetable crop was more and less infested by scale insects? What<br />

were the most distinguishing characteristics <strong>of</strong> scale insect damage? Which parts <strong>of</strong> plant were<br />

damaged by scale insects?<br />

❏ How much time did you spend in brushing or scraping scale insects? Do you think it is a<br />

practical approach?<br />

❏ Do farmers consider scale insects destructive pests <strong>of</strong> organically-grown vegetables?<br />

❏ Did you observe farmers who practiced brushing or scraping to control scale insects? Did<br />

farmers practice other innovative strategies? What are these strategies?<br />

❏ What other cultural management strategies can you use to complement brushing or scraping<br />

<strong>of</strong> scale insect pests at moderate and high infestation levels in organically-grown vegetables?
