Students were instructed on some solutions to keep in mind when applying IPHM to production practices such as: composting organic fertilizer from agricultural by-products; using pesticides in the correct dosage for each type of crop, ensuring human health and the environment.

Along with that, students visited and learned about the combined organic and IPHM production model at Lam Anh Agricultural and Service Cooperative (Dak Doa commune).
