This study was funded by the Crop Protection Programme (CPP) of the Department for International Development (UK) (DFID), and was undertaken between November 1999 and April 2000. It was one of several crosscutting studies commissioned by DFID CPP to inform research management policy and project design. The overall objectives of the study were:

  • to synthesize current knowledge on farmer decision making processes in pest management
  • to develop and test methodologies for exploring pest management decision making
  • to provide recommendations for research managers and policymakers to improve IPM research and implementation
