“…Pestisida sudah menjadi kebutuhan untuk menyokong kehidupan petani sehingga menjadi mata pencaharian utama petani.

Pesticide toxicity is a phenomenon that needs to be prevented, which is generally caused by the risky behavior of using pesticides. This PPM activity is one of the community empowerment activities to reduce the risk of pesticide toxicity through the GEMPAR (Gerakan Masyarakat Petani Atasi Racun) action. GEMPAR consists of eight farmer movements to prevent the risk of toxicity due to pesticides used. The eight GEMPAR actions were applied by farmers with promotional and educational methods through the GEMPAR demonstration activities. The demonstration implementation method is presented by the farming community which is divided into three areas in Sumber Mufakat Village, namely Berhala, Simpang Sumbul, and Pasar Sumbul. Demonstrations from these three areas were contested as a form of appreciation for the community so that they could motivate the community to participate in preventing the risk of pesticide toxicity. The demonstration that displayed the messages of the eight GEMPAR movements was carried out well. Each demonstration gives special characteristics either through songs or slogans related to preventing the risk of toxicity. The community became very enthusiastic about the demonstration which could increase the participation of the farming community to use better and healthier pesticides sustainably.

“…Spraying patterns in Sumber Mufakat villagers generally do not pay attention to the direction of the wind and are done by going back and forth following the plant beds. That action results in exposing the pesticide sprayed directly on the organs of the eye that are not protected with protective goggles, wind speed, and wind blow as the potential factor to increase the pesticide toxicity [37], [41], [42], [43].…”

Several factors that influence are ignorance of farmers about the toxic effects that cause chronic toxicity. To prevent pesticide toxicity, we found the eight principles of pesticide use that formulated based on the epidemiology prevention approach that meets the level of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. It called Community Movement in Toxic Resolve or Gerakan Masyarakat Petani Atasi Racun (GEMPAR) arranged as an effort to prevent toxicity, including recognizing the hazard of pesticide, completely personal protection used, paying attention to the wind direction and spraying route, store pesticides in a safe place, safely dispose of pesticides, personal hygiene, record, and report toxicity symptom, and going to organic farming. CONCLUSION: The effort of pesticide toxicity could prevent in successful by a community movement called GEMPAR that divides into eight principles of prevention action in pesticide used.

“…Advanced and expensive technologies are unaffordable to common farmers, and they require cheaper equipment with well-equipped technology. 80% of farmers use the traditional spraying method for pesticide spraying [5]. Traditional spraying involves direct contact with hazardous pesticides.…”

Pesticide spraying is a necessary activity in agriculture to get higher yields and protect our crops from weeds, insects, and fungi. As a result, manual pesticide spraying is practiced in most parts of India. Manual spraying results in direct contact with pesticides, which give birth to numerous health problems, including severe diseases for farmers. As a part of the solution, we propose an automatic pesticide sprayer. Using this bot, farmers will be able to spray pesticides remotely without any physical contact during spraying. Generally, more than one person is involved in manual spraying, but using this bot, a single person can operate spraying activities using a mobile application remotely.
