Abstract

Improper use of pesticides can cause various negative impacts, both for the environment, pets, and even the health of farmers. So a study is needed that aims to find out how good the action of using pesticides by farmers from various regions in Indonesia is. This study is a narrative review. Information was obtained from Google Scholar, resulting in 299 articles, which were then selected based on technical and substantive considerations, resulting in 11 articles to be synthesized and interpreted. The results of the study show that in most areas in Indonesia, farmers are not good at using pesticides, namely from 72.73% of districts/cities. It was concluded that the correct actions of farmers in using pesticides were still few, causing the risk of health problems.
