Pesticides have become a significant component of world agriculture since independence and over time. To preserve farmers' health and the environment, as well as to improve the long-term viability of chemical pest control, a quantitative understanding of farmers' pesticide use behaviour is essential. However, research on farmers' levels of knowledge and awareness, as well as pesticide use practices, is frequently limited. Pesticides have made a significant contribution to pest management and increased crop yields, but there has been growing concern regarding pesticide usage at random throughout the years. Trichy is a prospective agricultural production location that also functions as a vegetable pocket for the surrounding area. Tomatoes, ladyfinger, cucumber, chilli, cabbage, brinjal, and other vegetables are grown by small-scale farmers in this area, who employ a variety of pesticides to prevent pests and diseases that target these crops. In addition to chemical pesticides, the majority of farmers employ manure in their crops. Farmers in the Trichy region were interviewed about the types and sources of pesticides they use in their vegetables, the frequency with which they apply them if they wear protective clothing, and whether they have ever been poisoned by pesticides. Excessive pesticide use and handling procedures may expose farmers to high levels of pesticides and have a negative impact on their health. The majority of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with health issues such as skin and breathing. A study was done to look at the effects of farmers' knowledge and awareness in the Trichy district.
