Abstract

This is examine the efficiencies of using laurel clockvine with the combination of applying self-regulation theory to adjust farmer behaviors on using chemicals to prevent and eliminate pests in Con Chang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Khon Kaen Province. The average post-experiment scores on participants’ behaviors before spraying chemicals were significantly different from the pre-experiment scores (P-value 0.001). The average of post-experiment scores on participants’ behaviors while spraying chemicals showed a statistical-significant result (P-value < 0.001). Likewise, the average of the post-experiment scores of participants’ behaviors after spraying chemicals also showed a statistical-significant result (p-value < 0.001). Additionally, the results of the different ratio rates of cholinesterase enzyme levels in blood samples revealed that safe blood test pre and post experiment levels in order. The results of their blood test levels after the experiment showed a statistical significant difference (P-value< 0.001)
