| What does Agro-ecosystem Analysis (AESA) help evaluate in farming? | field situation with regard to pest, defenders, soil conditions, plant health, the influence of climatic factors and their interrelationship | 3. Agro-ecosystem Analysis (AESA). AESA is an approach, which can be gainfully employed by extension functionaries and farmers to analyse field situation with regard to pest, defenders, soil conditions, plant health, the influence of climatic factors and their interrelationship for growing healthy crop. Such critical analysis of the field situation will help in taking appropriate decision on management practices. The basic components ofAESA are : 1) Plant health. 2) Pest and defender population dynamics. 3) Soil conditions. 4) Climatic factors. 5) Farmers past experience. | 138 | summary | 0.970 | https://agritech.tnau.ac.in/horticulture/pdf/Coconut%20IPM.pdf | AESA is an approach, which can be gainfully employed by extension functionaries and farmers to analyse field situation with regard to pest, defenders, soil conditions, plant health, the influence of climatic factors and their interrelationship for growing healthy crop. | 7 | page=7,ocr=6 | 0.700 | |
