Citrus Production: Citrus IPM
Introduction
Audio-visual methodology is aimed at
supporting and empowering people involved in the field of agriculture to
define, promote, and take full ownership of their own development, as learning
is a life-long process.
Skills development is a key driver of
socio-economic development. Mainstreaming of agricultural development efforts
is crucial to ensure congruence and effective deployment of resources.
Citrus pest management is one of the
most dynamic aspects of pre-harvest production of citrus fruit as there are a
number of pests that can occur on citrus and that require control measures.
Who Should Enrol
All people involved in the field of
agriculture.
A way to bolster agricultural
production is to develop practical agricultural education systems. A powerful
way of doing this is through the use of audio-visual modules which is a highly
effective and tested methodology to approach, examine, and impart knowledge.
This is a comprehensive series of modules
that follow a step-by-step process and can be used in group training or self-study – and are structured according to visual training guidelines. This
implies defining most of the terminology used and where necessary, supporting
the visual storyline with graphics and animation to enhance the learning
process and ensure that sustainable knowledge is gained in the learning
process.
These modules are designed to do
precisely what they are meant to do – and that is to support skills development.
