In a study of pesticide use on farms in Oman, over 200 respondents were surveyed from amongst owners of and
workers on farms that belonged to a Farmers' Association (FA) and those that did not belong to the FA. A
questionnaire was used to gauge attitudes to pesticide use whilst inventories of active ingredients were taken
for all farms. The age profiles of the respondents were broadly similar, as was the distribution of nationalities
amongst the workers. Workers and owners of FA farms were better educated than respondents from nonmember
farms.
