The continued use of IPM tactics, especially correct identification, observation of pest damage and numbers,
and decision making based on the observations was documented in two ex-post evaluations of the project
describe here. Hruska, et a1. and Pareja, et a1. found that 50-90% of program farmers continued to
sample for insect pests three years after training ended, while only 17% on farmers who had not participated in
the program monitored their fields to make pest-management decisions.
