Over half (55.4%) low Perceived increased young farmers, with high education level, large land area...
Understanding farmers' preferences and behaviors in pesticide handling is essential for promoting sustainable chemical pest management practices that protect both the health of farmers ecosystem. The aim this work was to fill knowledge gap when using pesticides by addressing whether would prefer use lower risk most common pests their crops. Data were gathered with face-to-face interviews from a survey northern Greece. Almost three quarters (76%) noted they all available crops, while only 24%...
Long-term use of pesticides has been associated with wide range chronic diseases, and personal protective equipment (PPE) can reduce health consequences pesticide exposure. This study used the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a framework in predicting farmers' intention to series PPE (face mask, goggles, gloves, clothing rubber boots) for prevent adverse effects. Questionnaire including 33 measures variables which was guided by HBM were distributed May 2019 among random sample 387 rice farmers...
Abstract BACKGROUND Integrated pest management (IPM) is recognized as a sustainable approach to control. However, adoption rates among farmers in Iran have been observed be low. This study investigates the of IPM practices citrus and assesses applicability protection motivation theory (PMT) explaining farmers' behavior towards IPM. RESULTS Overall, reported poor levels use, paying attention only monitoring three groups examined (prevention, monitoring, suppression). The perceived severity...
Establishing appropriate education strategies about safe use of pesticide is not only essential to reduce adverse health effects associated with exposure but also for supporting the ongoing efforts promote production healthy agricultural products. This study describes a survey conducted before and after an intervention program aimed at promoting rice farmers' knowledge, attitude practice (KAP) in Sari County, Mazandaran province, Iran. We randomly assigned 180 farmers that agreed participate...
For many years, official agricultural policy efforts in Iran have focused on promoting the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices among farmers.

This study explores factors influencing farmers' behaviour use practices, based an expanded version Social Practice Theory (SPT). A sample 325 tomato farmers 30 villages Golestan province northeastern...
Abstract BACKGROUND The active participation of farmers in adopting eco‐friendly practices is vital to mitigate the environmental and health risks linked pesticide usage. Farmers' awareness these significantly influences their adoption integrated pest management (IPM) methods over traditional applications. This study sought explore range understanding on effects, categorize IPM strategies employed management, examine correlation between knowledge levels strategy choices. Data was gathered...
Purpose: Sustainability of agricultural production systems is an important issue, particularly in countries which heavily rely on this economic sector. Different methods have been proposed to assess sustainability such from various viewpoints. Nonetheless, limited attention has paid find key factors sustainability. While researchers often recognize ecological as the main element affecting sustainability, other play role a farming system, too. This study proposes method analyze determinants...
