A total of 112 farmers answered the questionnaire; 94 (83.9%) from Taquara, and 18 from
Goianápolis. All Goianápolis farmers were tomato growers, and 92% of Taquara farmers were either
tomato and/or sweet pepper growers. All except one farmer were male (99.1%). There were no
statistical differences in the parameters shown in Tables 1 and 2 for the individuals of both
communities, and thus they were grouped for discussion.
