1. Why did you came to the inspection workshop?

2. What is, according to your opinion, the most interesting aspectconducted during the inspection?

Because it is mandatory for IPM and I need the sticker for subsidies

Those related with calibration and adjustment: how to selectnozzles, how to adjust pressure. It has been very profitable for me

Page 26: The official procedure for mandatory inspection of ...

Training… or at least InformationInformation

Agreements during the last plenary meeting with all CCAA (march 2012)

Results of visual inspection must be explained/commented with thefarmer during the procedure itself.

Results of different measurements (nozzle flow rate, pressure gauge,horizontal distribution,…) must be explained (time consumingestimated 5-10 min) immediately after the measurement process.
