<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 />

Rate <strong>of</strong> release ranges from 60,000 to 100,000 parasitoids per release per hectare <strong>of</strong> crop<br />

field. With a rate <strong>of</strong> 100,000 parasitoids, there should be 50 Trichogramma strips with<br />

approximately 2,000 parasitoids per strip.<br />

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

conclusions and recommendation from this exercise.<br />

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

❏ Did you observe different organically-grown vegetable crops infested with lepidopterous pests<br />

in learning and adjoining fields?<br />

❏ Did you observe different lepidopterous pest species infesting organically-grown vegetable<br />

crops in learning and adjoining fields?<br />

❏ What control methods were employed by farmers against different lepidopterous pest species<br />

infesting their organically-grown vegetable crops?<br />

❏ Did you observe farmers producing and using biological control agents to manage lepidopterous<br />

pests in their vegetable fields?<br />

❏ Did you observe farmers using Trichogramma as biological control agent to manage<br />

lepidopterous pests in their vegetable fields?<br />

❏ Is use <strong>of</strong> Trichogramma as biological control agent effective in reducing population <strong>of</strong><br />

lepidopterous pests in organic vegetable production?<br />

❏ How, how much, and when is the best time to release Trichogramma in organic vegetable<br />

production?<br />

❏ Did you observe any innovative procedures in village-<strong>based</strong> biological control agent massproduction<br />

and application used by farmers in organic vegetable production? What benefits<br />

did farmers derive from using biological control agents as pest management strategy in organic<br />

vegetable production?<br />

❏ How did you feel while mass-producing and using Trichogramma? Was it difficult to massproduce<br />

and use Trichogramma as biological control agent in organic vegetable production?<br />

❏ What other cultural management options can you use to complement using Trichogramma as<br />

biological control agent in organic vegetable production?
