Pesticide occurrence and water quality assessment from an agriculturally influenced Latin-American tropical region

Didier Ramirez-Morales et al.

Summary: The monitoring study conducted in three agriculturally influenced microcatchments in Costa Rica from 2012 to 2014 found multiple pesticides in water samples and mainly insecticides in sediment samples. Water quality was affected by parameters such as nitrate and phosphorous, with nearby agricultural and urban activities having a significant impact.

What drives the pesticide user practices among farmers in tropical regions? A case study in Sri Lanka

R. G. Sumudumali et al.

Summary: The study revealed a significant increase in pesticide usage in tropical upcountry areas, with differences in user practices and drivers identified. Misuse of pesticides was mainly attributed to a lack of technical knowledge on pesticide application and integrated pest management practices. Training, extension services, and farmer education are recommended to improve farmers' knowledge and awareness of the risks of pesticides to human health and environmental pollution.
