Authors

Abstract
Agrochemicals are a necessary component of
contemporary farming practices. The goal of the study was to find out how
farming practices would change if agrochemicals were used too much. During
November 2022, a structured questionnaire and an in-person interview were used
to collect data from 150 randomly selected farmers in the Patna sadar area of
the Patna district in India. The selected socioeconomic characteristics of the
participants were selected as explanatory variables, while the focus variable
was the perceived effect of excessive agrochemical use. A 4-point rating scale
was used to rank the effect of using too many agrochemicals, and the perceived
effect index was used to rank the independent variables. The appropriate
scoring methods and scales were used to measure the independent variables. The
results showed that the majority of respondents (48.7%) perceived excessive use
of agrochemicals to have high positive effects on farming practices, while a
significant portion (59.3%) perceived medium negative effects.
