Notes:
Burton Swanson Collection, 214 pages, Describes and summarizes FAO's experiences in developing and applying an extension method that is strategically planned, needs-based, participatory and problem-solving oriented. Encourages systematic, interactive and holistic processes for extension planning, field implementation and management. Case studies involve rodent control campaigns (Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand), integrated weed management (Malaysia) and maize production by small farmers (Zambia).

search through journal, The value of weed scouting information for soil-applied and post-emergence weed management is estimated using a dynamic, whole-farm simulation model. The model simulates outcomes of four expected utility functions from management strategies using three levels of weed information. Results from a representative Minnesota corn and soybean farm indicate high value of weed seedling counts (for post-emergence control) but relatively low value of weed seed counts (for soil-applied control). While herbicide use is often reduced under information-based management, this is not always the case. (original)
