Abstract

Shallot farmers in their farming often use agrochemicals intensively which can pollute their land and agricultural products with an increase in the heavy metal content in them. Based on this, this research was conducted with three objectoves. The first one is to determine the status of heavy metal contamination in shallot agricultural products. The second one is to asses farmer behavior regarding fertilizers and pesticides and their use. The last one is to analyze the relationship between farmer behavior in using fertilizers and pesticides with the value of heavy metal accumulation content in shallots in Srigading Village, Kapanewon Sanden, Bantul Regency. The sampling location was selected by carrying out purposive sampling method on 30 points of ready-to-harvest shallots cultivation land. The shallot samples were tested for the heavy metal content of Pb, Cd, and Co. Furthermore, interviews were conducted with land owners or cultivators at the shallot sampling location. Then. the interview data analysis was carried out by giving a score for each qualitative data into quantitative data through a questionnaire and a correlation test was carried out between farmer behavior and heavy metal content. The results of the study found that the heavy metal content of Pb, Cd and Co in shallots in Srigading Village had exceeded the quality standard at all sampling points. In addition, the majority of respondent farmers have bad behavior regarding the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers’ behavior has a significant and negative relationship or is in reverse to the heavy metal content in shallots.
