Farmers' knowledge of IPM has been considered, as prerequisites to IPM adoption. In Iran the most prevalent extension method for training farmers in different fields like IPM is extension workshops. The main purpose of this study was to investigate workshop effectiveness to change farmer's knowledge of IPM through assessing and comparing farmer's knowledge of IPM. A survey was conducted among 90 farmers in Karaj City in 2007--08 that included 30 workshop participants, 30 farmers who had exposed to workshop participants, and 30 randomly selected farmers, which were outside of this community. A questionnaire including open and close ended questions was designed. Data was collected through personal structured interviews with respondents at their farms. The study found that workshop participants (10.38) had significantly higher knowledge scores than their non workshop counterparts (5.90). Data also showed very little diffusion of workshop-acquired knowledge from workshop participants to other community members.
农民对综合虫害管理（IPM）的了解被视为采用IPM的先决条件。在伊朗，像IPM这样针对不同领域农民进行培训的最普遍推广方法是推广讲习班。本研究的主要目的是通过评估和比较农民对IPM的了解，调查讲习班在改变农民对IPM认识方面的有效性。2007 - 2008年在卡拉季市对90名农民进行了一项调查，其中包括30名讲习班参与者、30名接触过讲习班参与者的农民以及30名从该社区以外随机挑选的农民。设计了一份包含开放式和封闭式问题的问卷。通过在农民农场对受访者进行个人结构化访谈收集数据。研究发现，讲习班参与者（知识得分10.38）的知识得分显著高于未参加讲习班的同行（5.90）。数据还显示，讲习班获得的知识从讲习班参与者向其他社区成员的传播非常少。
