PENGARUH TINGKAT PEMAHAMAN PETANI KACANG PANJANG (Vigna sinensis L.) MENGENAI PESTISIDA DAN KEPATUHANNYA DALAM APLIKASI TERHADAP HAMA DAN PENYAKIT DI SUMATERA SELATAN.
Pest and disease control in long bean (Vigna sinensis) often uses chemical pesticides. And sometimes, pesticides are not used strictly or according to recommended guidelines. Improper use will affect the surrounding environment of the plants and also impact human health. This research aims to determine farmers' understanding and compliance with pesticide use for controlling pests and diseases in long bean plants in South Sumatra. This research was conducted in four districts: Muara Enim, Ogan Ilir, Musi Rawas, and Banyuasin, from August to December 2025. The method used in this study was a questionnaire containing 10 questions about farmers' understanding and 10 questions about farmers' compliance with pesticide use. This interview was conducted with a minimum of 30 long bean farmers. Based on the observation results, 43 arthropod species from 9 orders and 27 families were found, with a total of 3,748 arthropod individuals. The most abundant species found was from the order Hemiptera, namely Aphis craccivora, with 2,207 individuals. There are 4 diseases found in long bean plants: leaf spot (Cercospora sp.), Bean common mosaic virus, Cowpea aphid borne mosaic virus, and leaf rust (Uromyces sp.). The regression test results show that farmers' understanding and compliance with pesticide use have only a very small effect on the intensity of pest and disease attacks, and the relationship is not statistically significant. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall also play a major role in the development of pests and pathogens. Keywords: Compliance, Pesticides, Understanding, Vigna sinensis
