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

facilitators. Motivate farmers to share their best experiences in controlling cutworms at<br />

relatively low to moderate infestation levels.<br />

5. 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 plots were mostly concentrated with cutworms?<br />

❏ Which organic vegetable crop was more and less infested by cutworms? What were the most<br />

distinguishing characteristics <strong>of</strong> cutworm damage? Which parts <strong>of</strong> plant did cutworm damage?<br />

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

❏ How much time did you spend in hand picking cutworms? Do you think it is a practical<br />

approach?<br />

❏ Did you observe farmers who practiced hand picking to control cutworms? Did farmers practice<br />

other innovative strategies to control cutworms? What are these strategies?<br />

❏ What other cultural management strategies can you use to complement hand picking <strong>of</strong><br />

cutworms at relatively low to moderate infestation levels?
