编制者和关键资源人员接受有关使用通过WOCAT记录数据的条件。:

是

1.4 SLM技术问卷的参考

2.1 该方法的简要说明

Learning how to use vetiver grass as a vegetative conservation barrier through instructions from a booklet and hands-on practical experience.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Aims / objectives: The manager of the farm was given a book and video on vetiver grass by the Mazda group from UK. His objective was to teach himself to improve his conservation system. Already he had a number of consercation strategies, including terracing, minimum tillage, mulching and strip-cropping, but he felt there was a need to better his syste,. Through self-teaching he gave himself an oppurtunity to do so.
There had been some vetiver plants on the farm for 40 years, and it held the soil in place where it grew. This vetiver grew into huge clumps comprising many splits (tillers). The book demonstrated how vetiver could be dug up, split and planted in a continuous barrier hedge for soil and water conservation. In other words, the book offered the possibility of improving on what was already there.
The approach therefore was to take ideas from a book, testing those ideas and see how they worked in practice. The approach has developed further by the farmer spreading his message to neighbours, some of whom have copied the system after visiting his farm and seeing the results for themselves. While the original handbook had been aimed especially at Indian farmers, subsequent to the successful experience of this particular farmer, a locally focussed handbook has been recently prepared in English and Zulu by the South African Vetiver Network.

2.5 采用该方法的国家/地区/地点

2.6 该方法的开始和终止日期

2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标

The Approach focused on SLM only

test and try a new method by self-teaching and gaining hands-on experience

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: lack of knowledge about alternative conservation technologies, need for a new and cheap supplement to existing forms of soil and water conservation within sugar cane, that could be tested and tried by the farmer himself without need for outside advice.

3.3 流程图（如可用）

3.4 有关SLM技术选择的决策

具体说明谁有权决定选择要实施的技术:

• 仅限土地使用者（自主）

解释:

land user driven (bottom-up). Literature

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by by land users* alone (self-initiative / bottom-up). land user driven (bottom-up).

4.1 能力建设/培训

是否为土地使用者/其他利益相关者提供培训？:

是

明确受训人员:

• 土地使用者

如果相关，请说明性别、年龄、地位、种族等。:

self-taught through use of World Bank's vetiver handbook

培训形式:

• self-taught, hands-on experience

4.4 监测和评估

监测和评估是该方法的一部分吗？:

是

注释:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations; indicators: vetiver performance

technical aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

economic / production aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

area treated aspects were regular monitored by land users through measurements

no. of land users involved aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through observations

There were no changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation

There were no changes in the Technology as a result of monitoring and evaluation

5.1 该方法中SLM组成部分的年度预算

注释（例如主要的资助来源/主要捐助者）:

Approach costs were met by the following donors: other (farmer itself): 100.0%

5.2 为土地使用者提供财政/物质支援

土地使用者是否获得实施该技术的财政/物质支持？:

否

5.3 对特定投入的补贴（包括劳动力）

如果土地使用者的劳动力是一项重要的投入，那么是不是:

• 自愿

5.4 信用

是否根据SLM活动的方法给予信用值？:

否

6.1 方法的影响

6.3 方法活动的可持续性

土地使用者能否维持通过该方法实施的措施（无外部支持的情况下）？:

• 是

若是，请说明如何维持:

Land users can continue without support and at least a modest spontaneous expansion of adoption is expected.

6.4 该方法的长处/优点

土地使用者眼中的长处/优势/机会
Neighbours can easily see and copy (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Farmer-to-farmer visits could be promoted through self-help groups and associations.)
A very cheap method of extension/knowledge transfer (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Produce and disseminate booklets and information on the internet more widely.)

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
A technical system devised from a handbook and experience rather than needing a project or intensive visits from extension agents (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Make sure such handbooks are spread and available in local languages.)

6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的弱点/缺点/风险	如何克服它们？
Not everyone has access to such teaching material or is literate	Spread literature and information more widley and in local languages both in written form and on the radio.
