Field School - Integrated Crop Management (SL-PTT) is a form of school where the entire teaching and learning process carried out in field, which on land PTT participating farmers an effort to increase national rice production. This SL-PTT guide result discussions with Directorate General Food Crops Agricultural HR Development Agency. So it very interesting examine (a) role integrated crop mana...

Parental care is an ecologically significant behavior adopted by many vertebrates, especially endothermic ones, and has thus received considerable attention (Clutton-Brock 1991; Farmer 2000). Parental care provides offspring with many requirements for development, such as water balance, energy provisioning, and temperature regulation (CluttonBrock 1991; Deeming, 2004). Because the needs of Corr...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of farmer field school (ffs) approach on adoption of biological control by rice farmers. the research population consisted of 72 farmers who had participated in ffs and 346 who had not participated in ffs, selected through randomized sampling method. the methodological approach of the study was twofold: descriptive-correlative and causal-com...

This paper reports on development of a robotic navigator, “Robo Kisan”, developed to assist the farmer in the crop field and show the complete function of the sensor for crop disease detection. This robotic navigator equipped with sensors for automatic mobility in the crop field is developed in two folds: Hardware design and Software design. A short description of the sensor for crop disease de...

This article is the outcome of an empirical study of technical training of women and men through Farmer Field Schools in rural Nepal during the last decade. When the Farmer Field Schools started in Nepal as part of the FAO Integrated Pest Management project in 1997, this was also the year that the Maoists declared the People’s Revolution. The article describes the increased participation of wom...
