调查泰国北部北方清迈省芳区烟草种植者的农药使用和防治措施。对研究区312户农户进行问卷调查、深度访谈和小组讨论。只有36%的参与者在每次使用杀虫剂时都采取了建议的预防措施。87.8%的参与者使用了化学品观察名单上的灭多威。种植经验和农药使用经验对种植者的使用和预防措施有显着贡献，而参加培训计划并没有以同样的方式做出贡献。农民们更相信自己和邻居的经历。需要对使用农药的有害影响和健康与环境代价进行教育、培训和研究。推广人员可以直接进入薄弱环节，缩小干预计划，改变农药政策，而不是一次又一次地提供农药的基本知识。农药预防措施的知识并没有使种植者保护自己免受农药或减少他们接触化学品。培训计划没有起到推广的关键作用，也不应该作为一个关键来介绍。
To investigate pesticide use and prevention practices of tangerine growers in Fang district, Chiang Mai province in Northern Thailand. A questionnaire survey of 312 farmers in the study area, in-depth interviews and group discussions. Only 36% of the participants pursued the recommended prevention practices every time they used pesticides. Methomyl which is on the watch list of chemicals was used by 87.8% participants. Cultivating experience and pesticides use experience contributed significantly to the use and prevention practices of growers, while the attendance in the training program did not contribute in the same way. The farmers rather believed in their experiences and those of their neighbors. Education, training and research into harmful effects and the health and environmental costs of pesticide use are needed. The extension workers can go directly to weak points and narrow their intervention plan to alter the pesticide policy instead of providing basic knowledge on pesticides again and again. Knowledge of pesticide prevention practices did not make tangerine growers protect themselves against pesticides or reduce their exposure to chemicals. The training program did not work as the key of extension and should not be presented as one.
