This study was carried out withe the objective of knowing the pesticides use pattern in commerical vegetable cultivation in the pocket area in vegetable production of eastern Chitwan, Nepal during winter, January 2001.

The study clearly reveals that farmers have very little knowledge or have no knowledge about safe use of chemical pesticides. Meanwhile, they are not aware of waiting period, environmental and health hazards and all those accidents led by misuse of chemical pesticides. Pesticides use in commercial farming and freshly marketable commodities appears excessively uncontrolled and without consideration of health of consumers.
