Although farmers receive little guidance and training related to safety, most of the farmers in this study were knowledgeable about handling pesticides safely. The most frequently reported concern among these farmers related to the environment and health. Significant differences were noted in age, storage of pesticides, and rinsing of empty pesticide containers among certified and noncertified farmers. Recognizing other significant differences in handling practices between the certified and noncertified farmers was difficult due to the small sample size and few numbers of noncertified farmers. Although statistically nonsignificant, there were instances where the noncertified farmers and the least educated farmers responded that they always practiced particular behaviors safely.
尽管农民很少接受与安全相关的指导和培训，但本研究中的大多数农民都了解如何安全地处理农药。这些农民中最常报告的担忧与环境和健康有关。在经过认证和未经过认证的农民之间，在年龄、农药储存以及空农药容器的冲洗方面存在显著差异。由于样本量小且未经过认证的农民数量少，很难识别出经过认证和未经过认证的农民在操作实践上的其他显著差异。尽管在统计学上不显著，但在某些情况下，未经过认证的农民和受教育程度最低的农民表示他们总是安全地践行特定行为。
