【 摘 要 】

Plant vegetables in Gajah and Bulan Baru Villages usually used excessive pesticides, that cause a negative impact on consumers and farmers who apply it. Some influential factors include in the used of pesticide are prices of pesticides, output prices, the size of land and farming experience. This study wants to analyze the influence of these variables on pesticide application. Sample in the study area was carried out by the census, 20 mustard farmers, 35 tomato farmers, and 35 cabbage flower farmers. To solve the study problem, the linear regression function method is used. Pesticide prices have a negative and significant effect on the use of pesticides in vegetable crops mustard, tomatoes and flower cabbage. Land area variables have a positive and significant effect only on mustard plants. Other variables were found to have no significant effect on pesticide use. It is recommended to the government to influence the price of pesticides so that it can reduce the use of it and at the same time introduce an integrated pest protection system and encourage the use of biological pest control.
