Abstract

The increasing demand for food has driven agricultural intensification, including the use of pesticides to control pests. However, improper pesticide usage can pose health and environmental risks. This Community Service Program (PKM) aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of vegetable crop pesticide sprayers in West Bandung agricultural area, regarding safe pesticide spraying practices through education and training. The methods included observation, training, assistance, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The results showed a significant improvement in farmers' knowledge levels, from the "Poor" category before training (<50%) to "Good" after training (100%). The program also increased farmers' awareness of using personal protective equipment (PPE) and implementing proper pesticide spraying procedures. The program's recommendations include ongoing education and the establishment of local facilitator teams to support program sustainability.
