Abstract

Paper discusses five substantive issues affecting farmer participation (FP) in the development of integrated tick management (ITM). These are the concepts, methods, incentives for and constraints to farmer participation (FP), and finally, case study material illustrating how FP has contributed to the research and development of integrated tick management.
