What farmers don't know

Article Abstract:

There are limitations to scientists' enlistment of the co-operation of farmers while classifying organisms since rural folks classify organisms according to their observability and importance. When the creatures are not easily seen or are insignificant, the farmers become vague about them. Folk knowledge can be classified into a few categories based on the observability and the significance of the organisms.
