Abstract
In Thailand, rice farmers rely on pesticides to control a variety of pests. The study aims to survey of pesticide use in paddy and to assess of EIQ (Environment Impact Quotient) Field Use Rating from the rate of pesticides in paddy, Bang Rachan District, Sing Buri province. The sample consisted of 161 households that were selected by using stratified sampling and proportional sampling. The data were calculated with Calculator for EIQ Field Use Rating to assess of EIQ Field Use Rating (EIQ-FUR). The results showed that 29 types of active ingredients of pesticides, Pho Chon Kai subdistrict, Bang Rachan district had a low EIQ-FUR (37.32). Most of the sample villages (63.6%) had a low EIQ-FUR, while the EIQ-FUR was very low with 27.3% and a moderate level of 9.10%, and founded that the use of pesticides will have the greatest impact on the ecosystem, followed by consumers and famers respectively.
