Özet:

 This study was conducted to determine the level of awareness of farmers engaged in organic farming, good agricultural practices GAP and conventional farming on pesticide use in Çanakkale province in 2024. The sample size in Çanakkale province and its districts was calculated by Simple Random Sampling Based on Proportion Averages method. The surveys were conducted with 200 organic farmers, 109 good agricultural practices farmers and 378 conventional farmers. Cronbachs Alpha α value, which is the overall reliability level of the study, was calculated as 0.955. Farmers knowledge levels regarding pesticide use were evaluated using a Likert scale. The Chi-Square test was applied to analyze the relationship between farmers knowledge levels and factors such as education, farming experience and age. According to the pesticide use awareness level data, it was determined that the higher the education level, the higher the level of knowledge, and in terms of farmer behaviour, organic farming and good agricultural practices limit the use of pesticides and reduce the risks on the environment and human health.

 Bu çalışma, Çanakkale ilinde 2024 yılında organik tarım, iyi tarım uygulamaları GAP ve konvansiyonel tarım yapan çiftçilerin pestisit kullanımı konusundaki farkındalık düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çanakkale ili ve ilçelerindeki örneklem büyüklüğü Oran Ortalamalarına Dayalı Basit Tesadüfi Örnekleme yöntemi ile hesaplanmıştır. Anketler, 200 organik tarım çiftçisi, 109 iyi tarım uygulamaları çiftçisi ve 378 konvansiyonel tarım çiftçisi ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın genel güvenilirlik düzeyi olan Cronbachs Alpha α değeri 0.955 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çiftçilerin pestisit kullanımı konusundaki bilgi düzeyleri Likert ölçeği kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çiftçilerin pestisit kullanımına ilişkin bilgi düzeyleri Likert ölçeği kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çiftçilerin bilgi düzeyleri ile yaş, eğitim ve çiftçilik deneyimi gibi faktörler arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmek için Ki-Kare testi uygulanmıştır. Pestisit kullanımı bilinç düzeyi verilerine göre, eğitim düzeyi yükseldikçe bilgi düzeyinin de yükseldiği, çiftçi davranışları tarafından ise organik tarım ve iyi tarım uygulamalarının pestisit kullanımını sınırlandırdığı, çevre ve insan sağlığı üzerindeki riskleri azalttığı tespit edilmiştir.
