The activities performed by the farmers while working
with pesticides were loading, applying, and mixing
(76.4%, 77.4% and 76.4% respectively). During these
activities, they are exposed for more than 12 times a year,
which is quite considerable. Incorrect work practices were
also noted among farmers such as re-entering recently
sprayed area (79.3%), wiping sweat off the face (66.8%),
spraying against the wind (23.1), spills at the back
(45.2%) and while spraying (51.9%), loading (29.8%)
and mixing (35.1).
