Research Abstract |
The rapid economic growth of Indochina area, especially Thailand and Vietnam has resulted in a rapid increase in the demand for agricultural production which has in turn led to the increased use of pesticides. In this study, we surveyed the state of the use of toxic and generic pesticides, and then analyzed pesticide residues in the environment to evaluate their potential risk. As a result, toxic pesticides which cause residue problems were not specified in the area. However, many farmers lacked the knowledge about pesticides. It was a big problem in the case that the risk of pesticides needs to be evaluated.
