Preamble

This study scrutinized pesticides and its harmful impacts to

agriculture. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the
effects of pesticide use to agriculture. According to health
organizations, pesticides can also be toxic to the people and
the farmer’s health. Their mode of action is by targeting
systems of enzymes in the pests which may be identical or very
similar to enzymes in human beings and therefore, they pose
risks not only to agriculture but to health as well (World
Health Organization, 2008). Pesticides are essential tools in
pest control. However, the effects of these compounds in
agriculture can’t be ignored.

If the farmers feel annoyed because of pests destroying their

crops, they tend to use these toxic substances to kill them.
What they don’t know is that it can ruin their crops more.

Data Analysis

• Primary data was collected through 2 sets of questionnaires

(for 2 types of people which are the vegetable/fruit vendor and
the gardener) being asked to the correspondents to answer. It
was recorded in a phone and the researcher will ask the question
which the correspondent needs to answer. It was conducted during
the time (February 10). The researchers visited parks for the
gardeners, and the market and malls for the those who sells
vegetables/fruits with the authors of the research papers formed
part of primary data collection methodology.
Secondary data was collected through research on the
internet and some articles online, on news papers, on magazines
and such
Instrumentation

Data Collection Techniques

• The interview took place at Rainforest Park and at a public

market. The researchers interviewed gardeners, fruit/vegetable
vendors. The researchers conducted and voice recorded in a quiet
and peaceful place where there were no signs of disruption.

Ethical Considerations

• The researchers invites the participant to participate in this

study (Harmful effects of pesticides). The participation in this
research project is completely voluntary. The participant may
decline or leave blank in any questions they don’t wish to
answer. As a sign of respecting their privacy, we didn’t reveal
the identity of the participants.
Research Design/Method

• The researchers decided to make an interview with a certain

individual who works in a garden and asked simple various
questions. First step we took was prepare questions to ask the
human agent. Second, we made a letter of consent and ask a
permission if we can have the access for interview. And lastly,
we recorded and listed their answers pertaining to our topic
which is about using pesticides on plants and its harmful
effects in their health.
