| Abstract |
Abstract: Inle Lake is the second largest inland lake in Myanmar. The poor agricultural management by some
farmers has resulted in contaminating the Lake ecosystem. This investigation includes the factors
influencing the usage of pesticides and fertilizers of selected farmers for tomato production on floating
garden in Inle Lake. A total of 80 farmers who cultivate tomato with good agricultural practice (GAP)
and non-good agricultural practice (non-GAP) were interviewed in four villages out of 136 villages
inside the Inle Lake, Nyaung Shwe Township during June to August 2019. Descriptive analysis and
multiple regression analysis models were performed to achieve the research objective. The pesticides
and fertilizers application increased in non-GAP when compared with GAP method. The results of
multiple regression model revealed that the pesticide consumption of sample farmers was positively and
significantly influenced by farm size, insect and pest damage of their crop, net profit but negatively and
significantly influenced on different agricultural practices. Fertilizer consumption was positively and
significantly influenced by experience in using pesticides and fertilizers, tomato yield but negatively
and significantly influenced on different agricultural practices. Good agricultural practice had a positive
effect on pesticide and fertilizer consumption for both models. Therefore, good agricultural practice
would be a proper system for an environment-friendly agricultural production and sustainable
agricultural practices in order to conserve the Inle Lake |
