Monitoring of banned pesticides in Indonesia.
This activity determined the circulation of POPs pesticides and pesticides which are prohibited by the Indonesian government based on the Indonesian Keputusan Menteri Pertanian (Minister of Farming Decree) letter No. 434.1/Kpts/TP.270/7/2001, which prohibits the use of 37 active pesticide ingredients. Research was conducted on official documents produced by the pesticide committee and farming department, and from field surveys on three islands, Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan. The surveys involved field visits and discussions with farmers, as well as interviews with the pesticide committee in the farming department. The results of the research were produced as a national report about the current circulation of information regarding the prohibited pesticides.
