knowledge training needs to reduce the harmful effects of using pesticides on the
environment.
Data were collected from 158 respondents as a random sample from three
distracts in Benghazi, Al Marj, and El Beida using prepared personal
questionnaire.
Data were analyzed using: Percentages, Frequencies, Correlation,
Coefficient, and Chi-Square test.
The results showed that:
About 76% of the respondents had a low level of knowledge about
reducing harmful effects of using pesticides that indicate a great training need
demand in this area of study.
The majority of respondents wanted to be supplied with information about
the area of this study through training.
According the Chi-Square value it revealed that there is a significant
relationship between each of these variable (Age, Education, Specialization,
Period of work in AGZ-work, The level of training and communicative openness)
and the level of knowledge about reducing harmful effects of using pesticides.
