[ ] Estimated Release Rate (organisms/acre/hectare)
[ ] Scheduled Release Date(s)
[ ] Release Method (Broadcast Release, Targeted Release, Attract and Persist, Other (Specify in LONG_TEXT))
[ ] Notes on Environmental Conditions Affecting Biological Control Effectiveness (e.g., temperature, humidity)
[ ] Photos of Released Organisms or Affected Area

--- SELECTIVE CHEMICAL CONTROL (IF NECESSARY) ---
[ ] Pesticide Selection Rationale (Least Toxic, Target Specific, Short Residual, Other (Long Text Explanation))

[ ] Weather Conditions at Application

--- RECORD KEEPING & EVALUATION ---
[ ] Date of Pest Monitoring Observation
[ ] Field Location of Observation
[ ] Pest Population Count (e.g., aphids per leaf)
[ ] Beneficial Insect Count (e.g., ladybugs per plant)
[ ] Pests Observed (Select all that apply) (Aphids, Caterpillars, Slugs, Weeds, Other (Specify in LONG_TEXT))
[ ] Details on Actions Taken (e.g., Release of biocontrol agents, herbicide application)
[ ] Effectiveness of Action (Subjective Assessment) (Very Effective, Effective, Moderately Effective, Ineffective)
[ ] Notes/Observations/Further Actions Required
[ ] Photos/Evidence of Pest/Damage/Intervention

--- TRAINING & EDUCATION ---

[ ] Describe your current understanding of beneficial insects and their role in pest control.
[ ] Date of last IPM training session.
[ ] What is your role in IPM implementation? (Farm Owner/Manager, Field Worker, Crop Scout, Advisor/Consultant)
[ ] Upload copies of training certificates or attendance records (if applicable).
[ ] Estimated hours spent on IPM training in the last year.
[ ] What are your specific questions or areas where you feel you need further training related to IPM?
