Sulawesi farmers strategies regarding cocoa pod borer USDA/CIRAD survey. Memo N° 2 : IPM does not mean interdiction of pesticide management
Following the first Memorandum, this short paper first presents some findings on the 51-farmer preliminary sample. All the findings are provisional but nevertheless confirm the main conclusions about the overwhelming importance of pesticides in farmers' strategies to reduce losses due to CPB. In most farmers' perception, the only efficient way to control CPB is using pesticides. In the second section, we give more detailed arguments for the need to reconsider the IPM methods currently promoted by extension services, and hence for more vigorous participative research.
