Abstract

BEHAVIOR OF SHALLOT FARMERS IN THE USE OF PESTICIDES IN THE SUB-DISTRICT OF LEMBAH GUMANTI, SOLOK REGENCY Abstract The use of pesticides in Indonesia today has reached an alarming level. The use of chemical pesticides is the most widely used means of controlling Plant Pest Organisms (OPT) by farmers in Indonesia, because they are considered effective, easy to use and economically profitable. However, so far, farmers tend to use excessive pesticides, and government policies are not optimal in providing assistance and supervision as well as training to farmers in order to increase farmers' knowledge in the use of pesticides and to carry out supervision and regulations, to supervise pesticide users. The purpose of this study was to identify the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides in Lembah Gumanti District, Solok Regency and analyze the factors that influence the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides. This research method uses primary data and secondary data and is supported by using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The results showed that the predisposing factor had a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in using pesticides. Enabling factors have a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides. The reinforcing factor has a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides. The predisposing factor has a significant effect on the intention of angry shallot farmers in using pesticides. Intention has a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides. Predisposition has a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides with the intention of mediating. The conclusion is that shallot farmers understand that the use of insecticides for pests, fungicides for fungi, and herbicides for weeds is to deal with pests and diseases in order to avoid crop failure. Farmers mix pesticides when plants are attacked by various types of pests and diseases, and spray regularly a maximum of 2 times a week. The factors that significantly influence the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides are: enabling factors which consist of indicators of environmental facilities, training, personal protective equipment, affordability, and socio-economic; reinforcing factor consisting of indicators of social support, legislation and supervision; and the intention factor, which consists of indicators of subjective norms, behavioral control and attitudes. The predisposing factor which consists of indicators of knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, values and motivation has a significant influence on farmer behavior through the intention factor as a mediating variable.
