Abstract

Modern agricultural activities and more production, endanger the health of farmers, and food safety and may cause environmental pollution. In this study, we aimed to determine the knowledge and practice of Pistachio farmers in Kashmar in field of Pistachio pesticide safety. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 380 pistachio farmers of Kashmar and data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire. Finally, all data were analyzed by using Spearman and Pearson tests, Chi-Square and ANOVA tests on SPSS software (version 22.). The mean age of participants was 48.98 ± 14.12. According to the data in the field of safety during spraying, 41.6% of farmers had a low level of knowledge and 58.4% had a moderate level of knowledge. Also, 62.6% of farmers had an average practice level and 37.4% of them had good practice level. Spearman correlation test shows that there is a positive correlation between the level of knowledge and practice of participants (p < 0.001). Most of the farmers have inadequate knowledge about the risks of pesticides and often show high-risk behaviors during application. Training the farmers is highly recommended to increase their knowledge about pesticide safety and reduce the risks of pesticide exposure.

现代农业活动和更多的生产，危害农民的健康和食品安全，并可能造成环境污染。在这项研究中，我们旨在确定开心果农药安全领域的喀什玛尔开心果农民的知识和实践。这项横断面研究是针对380位喀什玛尔开心果农民进行的，并使用研究人员制作的调查表收集了数据。最后，通过在SPSS软件（版本22）上使用Spearman和Pearson检验，卡方检验和ANOVA检验来分析所有数据。参与者的平均年龄为48.98±14.12。根据喷洒安全领域的数据，有41.6％的农民知识水平较低，有58.4％的农民知识水平中等。另外，有62.6％的农民具有良好的实践水平，其中37.4％的农民具有良好的实践水平。p  <0.001）。大多数农民对农药的风险了解不足，在施用过程中常常表现出高风险行为。强烈建议对农民进行培训，以增加他们对农药安全性的了解并减少农药暴露的风险。
