Aims: The purpose of the study was to assess the attitudes of mango growers towards pesticide risk reduction. Study Design: Eighty four (84) respondents were selected as sample from a recent list of 335 mango growers using multi-stage random sampling method. The population size consists of the mango growers of the sadar upazila of Dinajpur district. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Sadar Upazila under Dinajpur district. Data were collected by a pre-tested interview schedule during 23rd April to 26th May 2014. Methodology: Scales were used to measure information transfer. An open form question was designed to obtain information like knowledge on pesticide use which was measured by rating scores. Five point Likert scale was used for ascertaining attitude towards pesticide risk reduction. Results: Two-thirds (66.2 percent) of the respondents had less favorable attitude followed by 21.3 percent had medium favorable and only 12.5 percent had high favorable attitude towards pesticide risk reduction. Among the independent variables educational qualification, information transfer and knowledge on pesticide use of the respondents showed positive significant relationships with their attitude towards pesticide risk reduction. Most of the mango growers i.e. 70.24 percent use safety shoes, 60.71 percent use cap, 23.81 percent use gloves, traditionally 22.62 percent use towel as mask, 11.90 percent use safety glasses and only 4.76 percent use shirt as apron during pesticide application. However, some complained that they were not aware about PPE. Conclusion: To promote awareness and minimize the risk of pesticide exposure in using PPE and there is a need for better sanitation facilities and hygiene that improves the attitude of the mango growers.

The present study was carried out to fulfill the following specific objectives: 1. To determine and describe the selected characteristics of the mango growers. 2. To assess the mango growers' attitude towards pesticide risk reduction. 3. To explore the relationship between selected characteristics of mango growers and attitude towards pesticide risk reduction.

For conducting this research, Sadar Upazila under Dinajpur district was selected purposively as the study area. The selection was done due to researchers’ availability in the research area and having good understanding with the language and culture of the local people. Sadar Upazila consists of 10 unions in which two unions namely Chehelgazi and Auliapur were selected randomly as the locale of the study. The total number of mango growers i.e. 335 under these two unions was considered as the population of the study. Out of this population, a sample of 84 mango growers (about 25 percent) was selected by a random sampling method. In the present study, nine selected characteristics were selected as the independent variable. These were: age, educational qualification, farm size, annual income, information transfer, knowledge on pesticide use, personal hygiene and sanitation practices, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and practice of pesticide. Attitude towards pesticide risk reduction was undertaken as the dependent variable. To assess the attitude of the mango growers towards pesticide risk reduction was measured by using 12 statements (6 positive and 6 negative). A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure the attitude of the mango growers that ranked as ‘strongly agree’, ‘agree’, ‘undecided’, ‘disagree’ and ‘strongly disagree’. Score was assigned as the positive opinion as 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 and reverse as negative opinion. The attitude score of a respondent was computed by adding the scores for responses to all the 12 statements. The possible attitude scores could range from 0 to 48, where 0 indicating a highly unfavorable attitude and 48 indicating a highly favorable attitude towards pesticides risk reduction. Data were collected during 23rd April to 26th May 2014 through face-to-face interviews. Descriptive statistics such as range, number, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used in order to assessment of the relationship between the concerned variables.

Based on the findings and their logical interpretations the following conclusions have been drawn: The study findings strongly support the approach of attitude towards pesticide risk reduction which is the major concern for the study area. The mango growers of the study area become aware and conscious about pesticide exposure level and attitude could not be the less favorable attitude converted to highly favorable of the mango growers. Education is generally a contributing factor for gaining knowledge and upgrading the education level of the respondents would contribute to the development of their favorable attitude offering effective education to the respondents may be very useful in forming their favorable attitude towards pesticide risk reduction. Though information transfer had a significant positive relationship with pesticide risk reduction it may be concluded that the respondents had a great opportunity to connect the information source which could develop a favorable attitude towards pesticide risk reduction. Knowledge as a component of attitude is very important and has further been proved and confined in this study. Therefore, it may be concluded that if knowledge on pesticide use could be increased, then the attitude towards pesticide risk reduction could also be enhanced. A major proportion of the mango growers reported that the use of PPE including safety shoes; caps and gloves etc. however, some complained that they were not aware of PPE. To promote awareness and minimize the risk of pesticide exposure in using PPE and there is a need for better sanitation facilities and hygiene that improves the attitude of the mango growers. Change in practice leads to reduce risk would be implemented continuous education and training programs for mango growers on pesticide handling.
