“…With a structured model, Rezaei et al 147 found that there was a positive correlation between IPM and organizational participation. Integrated pest 148 indicated that participation could positively affect economic valuations, although free riders also have significant impacts on joint control. Allahyari et al 149 provided an indepth insight into the effects of organizational participation that could help to increase the adoption of the joint control of olive fruit fly in Iran.…”

BACKGROUND In China, there are a lack of well‐established relationships regarding farmers' behavior and participation in farmer organizations. The main objective of this study was to explore the effects and mechanisms of organizational participation in the joint control of pest and disease among kiwifruit growers (within the members of organizations). To fulfill this objective, the present study utilized survey data from 577 kiwifruit growers collected from Meixian County, Shaanxi Province, China. A combined method utilizing the instrumental variable (IV) ordered probit and bootstrap multiple mediation effect models were employed to determine the effects of participation by farmers' organizations in the joint control of pest and disease among kiwifruit growers. RESULTS A positive relationship was found between organizational participation and the joint control of pests and diseases. The empirical analysis of this study found that organizational support, organizational learning and organizational norms have mediating effects in the process of farmers' participation in the joint control of pests and disease. It is essential to go beyond individual behavior and tackle group decision‐making at the farm level. CONCLUSION This study found a positive effect of organizational participation in joint pest and disease control mechanisms. Moreover, whether the farm is situated in the demonstration zone for kiwifruit cultivation, planting experience, planting area, whether there are people in the family who are village cadres, and the number of older adults in the family significantly positively affect the degree of pest and disease control. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

“…This lack of evidence adds to speculation as to whether the FFS structure is an effective means for widely diffusing and ‘scaling‐up’ IPM knowledge and use 7 . However, it is important to note that the number of studies that examined and quantified the existence of these spillover effects have been limited, 18,12,25–28 and only a few have used more rigorous quantitative methods that control for selection bias and confounding 18,12,25 …”

Over the last few decades, the use of Farmer Field Schools (FFS) have been considered one of the best approaches to disseminate integrated pest management (IPM) practices that aim to reduce reliance on and misuse of chemical pest control methods in agriculture. However, the published empirical literature has been decidedly mixed in terms of the effectiveness of the IPM-FFS approach to improve economic outcomes in the short-term (e.g. reduce chemical use, improve profits), and the potential for scaling-up and IPM dissemination in the medium-term. This article briefly explores the empirical IPM-FFS literature and draws implications for future research directions that can potentially enhance IPM knowledge diffusion methods (including IPM-FFS) and increase the economic impact of IPM techniques in low-income countries. We find that promising research directions to improve understanding of IPM dissemination and IPM impacts will need to involve: (i) interdisciplinary long-run studies using rigorous evaluation methods; (ii) in-depth assessments of spillover effects; (iii) careful examination of IPM and IPM-FFS impact heterogeneity; (iv) evaluation of novel IPM packages with herbicide-and genetics-centered components; (v) piloting and impact assessments of alternative IPM knowledge diffusion structures; and (vi) piloting and impact analysis of IPM dissemination and learning programs with private sector involvement.

“…Konsep ini merekomendasikan perpaduan lima teknik pengendalian yang dikenal dengan pengendalian hama terpadu (PHT) yaitu: (1) Membudidayakan tanaman sehat, (2) memanfaatkan sebesar-besarnya musuh alami, (3) menggunakan varietas tahan, (4) menggunakan pengendalian fisik/mekanik dan (5) penggunaan pestisida bila dianggap perlu. (Githiomi et al 2019;Gautam et al 2017)., (Saeed et al, 2019) Oleh karena itu penelitian ini berorientasi pada upaya penerapan konsep PHT untuk pengendalian hama S. exigua. (Muriithi et al 2016;Kalmar et al 2014) Tujuan umum dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh mulsa dan pupuk terhadap intensitas serangan hama S. exigua dan peningkatan hasil bawang merah varietas lembah Palu, sedangkan tujuan khusus dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui interaksi penggunaan berbagai jenis mulsa dan pupuk terhadap intensitas serangan hama S. exigua dan hasil bawang merah.…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of fertilizer and mulch on the intensity attack of S. exigua and the yield of Lembah Palu shallot variety. The research was conducted in Bolu Pountu Jaya, Sigi Village, District of Sigi Biromaru, Sigi Regency, from September to November 2013. The study design was a two-factorial randomized pattern with three replicates for each experimental unit. The first factor was various types of mulch consisted of four treatment without mulch (M0), rice straw mulch (M1), cocoa mulch (M2) and plastic mulch (M3). The second factor was different kinds of fertilizers including liquid organic fertilizer (P1), guano fertilizer (P2) and synthetic fertilizer (P3). There is no significant interaction effect between the type of fertilizers and mulch on the intensity of S. exigua and shallot yields. However, the individual effect of the mulches was significant on reducing the intensity of S. exigua attack and increasing the yield of the shallot. The rice straw mulch reduced the attack intensity of S. exigua by 20.83 %, whereas the cacao mulch increased the yield by 47.61 % compared to the control treatment. Keywords : Fertilizer, Lembah Palu shallot, mulch and Spodoptera exigua.
