3.3. Farmer knowledge of and behaviour towards pesticides
We analysed the level of the knowledge of pesticides of the farmers,
including information sources, practices, and protective management
(Table 4).Most farmers learned about pesticides by oral communication
with retailers or other farmers, and 5-fold fewer farmers in S1 relative to
S2 (p b 0.01) learned about pesticides via media, e.g. television, the
internet, newspapers, or books.
