Abstract

Pest management plays big role in chili production. Most chili farmer in Indonesia uses chemical pesticide, among various pesticide active substances, Carbosulfan is one of the pesticides widely used by farmers. Even though there are some controversial issues related to health and environment, the use of Carbosulfan pesticide is still believed by many to benefit farmers in economic and social aspect. This study aims to: (1) describe the social impacts of Carbosulfan use, including farmers’ attitudes and motivations as well as its social benefits and (2) analyse the economic impacts of Carbosulfan. The method used in this study are descriptive analysis, income analysis and linear regression analysis. This study found that: (1) only one third of the sample agree that the use of Carbosulfan pesticide could save the working time of chili farmers. This saved working time was then used by farmers to carry out other activities such as become farmworker or labour/handyman, or rest. (2) Chili farming with carbosulfan is profitable and the use of carbosulfan pesticide is relatively cheaper than its substitute. Carbosulfan pesticide significantly and positively affects chili productivity, and if it is eliminated in production process then it can create some economic value lost.
