The data were gathered using structured questionnaire and analyzed using frequency, percentage, and average weighted mean. Farmer Field School Approach is based on the concepts and principles of people centered learning, and were they answer for themselves. That means the farmers can develop solutions to their own problems and developed as an alternative to the conventional top-down test and verification of the extension approaches. This season-long farmer field school on rice was conducted which bring farmers together to carry out IPM over the life cycle of the rice plants as well as the factors that influence pest and diseases control and decision making at all growth stages of the rice without damaging the beneficial insects and parasites. By observing the field every day until such trained farmer become experts in their own field. Farmer field school is a form of adult education, which evolved from the concept where farmers learn optimally from field observation, experimentation, and experiences and new information from outside the community.
