dc.description.abstractPesticides are used extensively to control diseases and pests during crop production. The intensive use of pesticides pollutes soil and water resources. The increasing pollution of soil and water resources has become a global problem. The most significant factor influencing the outcome is the behavior of farmers in the process of pesticide use. Intensive use of pesticides not only pollutes the environment but also negatively affects human health. Therefore, farmers' sensitivity to the environment and human health is essential in regions where pesticides are used intensively. This study examined the behavior of farmers regarding pesticide use in the Lapseki district of T & uuml;rkiye, where fruit growing and pesticide use are intensive. The study was investigated using 93 questionnaires covering all villages in the Lapseki district. The surveys were conducted face-to-face with fruit producers. The data obtained were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. According to the results obtained, fruit producers in Lapseki district are moderately conscious of the use of pesticides. Only 42% of producers use pesticides according to the recommended dosage, but most of them know pesticides are harmful to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is essential to provide fruit producers in the region with training on pesticide use.
