Summary

The most important technological needs and farmers' problems in agricultural entomology were identified by analysis of data collected from farmers in Tamil Nadu, India. This showed that damage due to leaf hoppers in rice was the most important research need and that due to brown plant hoppers in rice was the most important extension problem.
