Participatory Ecology Training:

A Field Guide for IPM Training

 

Nanang Budiyanto, 2000

 

This Guide is based on field work carried out over a period of more than 5 years in Indonesia. The 18 exercises have also been used as part of IPM training courses in Cambodia, China, Bangladesh and Thailand.

 

The document has diagrams and tables on every page and, as a result, it takes up a lot of space. To make it easier to download it has been split into 6 pdf files.
