ANALISIS PENANGANAN LIMBAH KEMASAN PESTISIDA PADA PETANI DI KELURAHAN MUARA SIBAN KECAMATAN DEMPO UTARA KOTA PAGAR ALAM
The use of pesticides in the agricultural sector continues to increase, but the handling of packaging waste is often neglected. In Muara Siban Village, many farmers dispose or burn pesticide packaging without proper procedures, which can potentially pollute the environment and endanger health. This study aims to analyze the handling of pesticide packaging waste among farmers in Muara Siban Village, North Dempo District, Pagar Alam City. This research uses a qualitative approach. The selection of informants was carried out by purposive sampling with a total of 17 informants. Data collection through in-depth interviews using interview guidelines, observation using checklists, and documentation using Photovoice. Data validity was obtained through data triangulation, source triangulation and method triangulation. The results showed that most farmers have used pesticides for more than 15 years, with the dominant packaging in the form of plastic bottles and ordinary plastic packaging. However, awareness regarding waste handling is still low, as seen from the large amount of waste that is dumped or burned around the fields and huts. Only a few farmers try to landfill waste in safer locations, but without following proper procedures. Unavailability of special disposal sites and lack of education on environmental impacts are the main factors leading to improper waste disposal practices. The conclusion of this study is that the handling of pesticide packaging waste is still not optimal and has the potential to pollute the environment. Therefore, education efforts and proper disposal of pesticide packaging waste are needed. Keywords : Pesticides, packaging waste, waste management, farmers, environment References : 59 (2001-2024)
