5.5.3 Crop Cutting Questionnaire

To record all information about the sample plot, its owner or operator, and all observations and measurements gathered during the CCE, a crop cutting questionnaire should be designed. One questionnaire needs to be completed for each sample plot where crop cutting is conducted. Hence, in one sample mesh, a maximum of four crop cutting questionnaires should be completed.

A sample of the crop cutting questionnaire used in the Philippines is presented in Appendix 3. A crop cutting enumerator’s manual, which presents detailed instructions related to completing the questionnaire as well as a description of the crop cutting methodology, should accompany the crop cutting questionnaire. The enumerator’s manual used in the Philippines is presented in Appendix 3.

It is important for the enumerators to be well trained in all activities involved in the conduct of the CCE. Both in-house and field training were implemented for the pilot studies. In the 2-day classroom training, all topics relevant to the crop cutting preparations were discussed. Actual practice of the crop cutting methodology was done during 3 days of field training. This included a crop cutting field demonstration and a pre-test of the crop cutting questionnaire.
