<strong>Field</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Discovery</strong>-<strong>based</strong> <strong>Exercises</strong> <strong>for</strong> Organic Vegetable Production<br />

5 Practice handpicking to complement spraying <strong>of</strong> chili solution at moderate webworm<br />

infestation levels, and<br />

5 Take note <strong>of</strong> all relevant observations and experiences during this activity.<br />

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

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

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

relatively low to moderate 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 plots were mostly concentrated with webworms?<br />

❏ Which organically-grown crucifer vegetable was more and less infested by webworms? What<br />

are the distinguishing characteristics <strong>of</strong> webworm damage? Which parts <strong>of</strong> plant did webworm<br />

damage?<br />

❏ How much time did you spend in spraying webworms with chili solution? Do you think it is a<br />

practical approach?<br />

❏ Did you observe farmers who sprayed chili solution against webworms? Did farmers practice<br />

other innovative methods to control webworms? What are these methods?<br />

❏ Do farmers consider webworm as a destructive pest <strong>of</strong> organically-grown vegetables?<br />

❏ What other cultural management strategies can you use to complement spraying chili solution<br />

to control webworms at relatively low to moderate infestation levels?
