La implementación participativa del MIP en diferentes zonas cafetaleras de Nicaragua

The CATIE/INTA IPM in Nicaragua collaborated with national institutions, the national coffee organization, and NGOs to develop a participatory model for the widespread multiplication of coffee IPM with farmers, extensionists, and specialists. The project team first worked with 10 groups of coffee growers to field-test a participatory training sequence at key crop stages. Simple methods were developed for training in major pests. The project team then developed a parallel process for extensionist training which also followed critical crop stages in farmer decision-making. Over 150 extensionists met every two months during the year to strengthen their facilitation skills and expand their ecological understanding of pests and natural control. Evaluations showed that farmers and extensionists had improved knowledge and abilities for pest management.
