3 Module Soil management Preparation prior to the training Visit several farms in advance to select one where you will conduct the training. Select a farm based on the following criteria. Choose a farm where you can observe various evidences of soil erosion, as they serve as the starting point of the discussion of the day. The farm should have enough open space somewhere on the premise whereby the trainer and the participants can gather and discuss. The farm should be located at a place where the participants can easily reach, and should not be too away from the participants homes. Talk with the farm owner in advance so that he/she agrees to receive the participants on the day of training at his/her farm, and inform the farm owner in advance that the trainer and the participants will be discussing about the problems of soil erosion that can be observed in the farm. Program of the day Activity Activity 2 Activity 3 Activity 4 Activity 5 Activity 6 Topics Introduction of the trainer and the objectives of the training Observation of the soil condition of the farm and discussion of the findings Presentation with the photos on the good practices of soil management Weed identification exercise Observation of shade trees and discussion of their benefits Distribution of the poster and recap of the day using the poster Duration 5 minutes 45 minutes 30 minutes 45 minutes 5 minutes 5 minutes Activity 7 Feedback from the participants 5 minutes Materials to bring Photo package for the soil management module Poster Soil Life Transformation, enough quantity to give one to each participant

14 fojk mdvu m,sfndao l,ukdlrkh Preparation prior to the training Visit several farms in advance to select one where you will conduct the training. Select a farm based on the following criteria. Choose a farm where you can observe various predators. Do not choose a farm which has been repeatedly sprayed with insecticides and where the predators have been wiped out. Choose a farm that has been less sprayed. The farm should have enough open space somewhere on the premise whereby the trainer and the participants can gather and discuss. The farm should be located at a place where the participants can easily reach, and should not be too away from the participants homes. Talk with the farm owner in advance so that he/she agrees to receive the participants on the day of training at his/her farm. On the day of the training, spend some time at a farm before the training to collect tea leaves with pest damages. (See the next page for the leaves to look for.) It is important to collect as many leaf samples as possible in order to have an enriching exercise, so allocate sufficient time to collect damaged leaves. Program of the day Activity Activity 2 Activity 3 Activity 4 Activity 5 Activity 6 Topics Introduction of the trainer and the objectives of the training Pest damage identification exercise Story-telling and group discussion on the impacts of spraying Photo presentation and predator identification exercise Group discussion on how to increase predator population Distribution of the poster and recap of the day using the poster Duration 5 minutes 60 minutes 30 minutes 45 minutes 5 minutes 5 minutes Activity 7 Feedback from the participants 5 minutes Note: The Activity 4 Predator identification exercise needs to be conducted early morning or after 3pm in the afternoon. If it is close to mid-day, the predators are hiding and cannot be easily found. Therefore, you may need to adjust the order of these activities to ensure that this exercise is conducted at an appropriate timing. 2

15 Materials to bring Photo package for the pest management module Poster The World of Predators, enough quantity to give one to each participant Activity Introduction Explain that today s topic is pest management, and tell the participants that the training will not just look at the pests, but will put pests in the context of the whole ecosystem on a tea farm. When one understands the issue of pests in the perspective of landscape, the way to address the pest problem becomes different. Communicate the objectives of the training. By the end of the training, the participants should be able to: Identify pests and understand how each of them affect tea leaves Identify predators for the pests and understand how each of them control pests Understand the ecosystem of pests, predators and their habitats on the farm Learn different ways to increase predator population on a farm Learn sustainable management of pests through maintaining the natural predator-pest balance Activity 2 Pest identification exercise Take out the leaves that have been damaged by pests, which you have collected in advance. Take them out one by one, and ask: Which pest has attacked this leaf? How did that pest make this damage? The following types of damaged leaves should be presented for discussion:. Looper damage After any participant says that these leaves have been attacked by loopers, ask them the next question: 2 What made the difference between these small holes and these big bites of the leaf edges? After the participants express their opinions, explain to them that these small holes on succulent leaves have been made by small young loopers. As they grow, they start to eat maintenance foliage and are capable of eating the whole leaf. By looking at the leaves, you can tell whether there are more small loopers or more grown-up loopers on the farm. 3

16 2. Helopeltis damage After any participant says that these leaves have been attacked by helopeltis, ask them the next question: 3 What made the difference between these black spots and these semi-transparent spots? Explain that helopeltis is a sucking insect like a mosquito. When it sucks a leaf, it leaves these black spots. When a leaf is recently attacked, the spots look rather transparent. These semi-transparent spots can be observed in early morning. As the day progresses, they turn black. Helopeltis is an insect that moves very fast. If you only observe black spots, they mean that helpeltis was there before, but it does not mean that they are still around. They may have moved to another location of your farm. If you decide to spray based on the level of black spots you observe, you may be spraying where helopeltis is no longer around and are spraying in vain. That is why it is very important to look for semi-transparnt spots, which is a signal of fresh attack, and it means that helopeltis is still around the area. Your decision of pest control should be based on the level of fresh helopeltis attack you can observe on the particular spot of the farm. 3. ;%sma ydksh mqyqkqjkakkaf.ka úuikak 4 fujeks ydkshla lrkafka flfiao? 6;%sma hqi Wrd fndkakl= nj meyeos,s lrkak.

17 4. Empoasca (green fly) damage After any participant says that these leaves have been attacked by green flies, ask them the next question: 5 How did green flies make this kind of damage? Explain that green flies are also sucking insects, and they suck the edges of young leaves. When the attacked leaves grow, the edges do not grow properly, so the leaves start to curl. 5. r;= ul=æ uhsghd úf,damlhska fuka r;= ul=æ uhsghska f;a m re uügfï csj;a fkdfõ Tjqkf.a fld,ks f;a m re j,g hg msysgd we;. tuksid r;= ul=æ uhsghska u¾okhg ridhk Ndú;h t;rï id¾:l úi ula fkdfõ.

Do you plan on changing any practice on your farm? Any recommendation for improvement for the next training? As much as possible, note down their feedback so that these can be used to understand some results of the training and areas of improvement for the future training. 20
