Purpose of Visit

While other goals may be attempted, the main purpose of this visit is to complete Specific Goal 3:

Analysis of PSD in field conditions. Deployment will be done at Pont Gendarme, one of the villages of the GEF project PDF-B. In this location two cages will be deployed at each of the sampling places: the main irrigated canal (at the pumping station), the main drainage canal (at the draining station) and at the wetland where waste water is drained. The deployment of PSD which is a part of the training will be done with CERES/Locustox staff. One set will be analyzed at CERES/Locustox and the other will be sent to OSU. All the necessary consumable and material will purchased by FAO to avoid any delay on delivery time which could affect the analytical process.
