Does anyone have good examples of farmer communication efforts in the field? What works best with farmers in your country and/or community? What are the different ways we can communicate with farmers about IPM and FAW control (and on other plant pests and diseases)?

Reaching at the farmer door step is the key for acceptance of IPM or any other technique/technology. In my study regarding farmer perception of insect pollinators and willingness to conserve in cucurbits, it was found that when I practically demonstrated the importance of insect pollinators to individual farmers in cucurbits, most of these agreed to conserve insect pollinators at their farms by using various conservation practices.
