dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the study was to assess the attitudes towards the pesticide risk reduction of the mango growers. The study was conducted in Sadar upazila under Dinajpur district. Eighty four (84) respondents were selected as sample from a recent list of 335 mango growers using multi-stage random sampling method. Data were collected by a pre-tested interview schedule during 23th April to 26th May 2014. 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 relationship with their attitude towards pesticide risk reduction. Continuous education program and training might promote awareness and minimize the risk of pesticide exposure. Better sanitation facilities and personal hygiene would improve the attitude of the mango growers towards pesticide risk.
