Training manual for the control of the greater (larger) grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus, Horn)
The manual is currently comprised of fourteen sections which, according to the prevailing level of knowledge, cover all possible relevant control strategies against the Greater Grain Borer under the Kenyan requirements. Since, in future, certain alterations (such as newly approved insecticides) and fresh scientific findings are inevitable, the manual was compiled in such a form as to allow each section to be easily replaced or new ones inserted. In this way, the manual presents an open system to which changes can be made at any time without involving high production costs. Each section - with the exception of the first one - has at least one hand-out which covers the most important points of the individual section and which should be distributed to the group being trained. Concerning the extension service, this manual should be made use of in a cascade form, i.e. after the training of the Subject Matter Specialists by the Crop Post-Harvest Management Branch in the different district s infested with or threatened by the, GGB, the Technical Assistants and farmers should then be trained by the upper, already-trained levels. Special note - on technical training grounds - should be paid to the most complete use possible of the training materials listed in each section, the carrying out of the named practical components and the active involvement of each target group in the training session.
