Description Establishment of knowledge
intensive area wide community based
approaches to pest management
and the utilization of integrated bio
management technologies lead to
acceptable solution to problem of
pesticide misuse. AWCA proved to
be not a passive process but involved
interactions among and between
stakeholders improving technology demand and
utilization. Feedback and responses from extension
officials indicated positive impact of spread to other
farming communities also.The focus on specific adopter categories and community
extension approach in wider area could overcome the
inefficiency of individual level technology adoption
and wide variation of farmers’ socioeconomic resource
base.
There is a need for paradigm shift in extension approaches from
individual to community level, with active community participation.
Such specific extension approaches could increase the adoption of
technologies, offer scope for refinement of technologies, evaluation of
effectiveness and faster technology dissemination.
