Abstract/Description: | The present study investigated levels of understanding of pesticide handling among the farmers of Punjab by focusing on their ability to understand the information displayed on product labels, which might affect risk reduction. A set of 9 statements were put to the farmers through Google forms during the Covid-19 pandemic period as it was not possible to visit individual farms of the farmers. Basic information about the farmer such as gender, age, educational level, and farming practices (crop types and yields, agrochemical products used etc.) was recorded. A discussion was also performed with individual farmer regarding practices of pesticide application followed. It was found that 27 (24.32 %), 60 (54.10%) and 24 (21.62%) farmers were in the age group of young (up to 30 yr), middle age (30-50 yr ) and elder (>50 yr) , respectively. The land holding status revealed that 46 (41.44%), 32 (28.83%) and 33(29.73%) farmers possessed less than 2 ha, 2 to 4 ha and more than 4 ha. indicating that majority population falls under small land holding (<2ha). Similarly, it was observed that majority of the middle age group (38-50 yr) farmers were more aware of the various questions posed by the researcher, as compared to the youngsters (<30 yr). On the other hand, elder farmers (>50 yr) were either equally or more aware than the younger population. The study revealed that there was no correlation between the land holding, age and awareness level about various pesticides usage and its harmful effects. Hence, it was observed that the education level could have played a significant role in the awareness level of farmers. |
