School of Environment, Resources and Development Pesticides use increased worldwide in developing countries as a consequence of the green revolution, which adopted such a new technology and inputs. This is causing much public concern and criticism and because of the potential and actual hazards that this product and its residues pose to human health and the envirorunent. In Cambodia, like in most of the developing countries, farmers grow vegetable crops like cabbage, cauliflower, fan masta green and masta green, and mung bean crop and dry and wet season rice crops. On these crops farmers used a high quantity of pesticides. This causes risks for farmers themselves and for consumers and the envirorunent as well other living things. Consequently, increased attention has been focused on pesticide management and alternative measures to be used to reduce pesticide application in agriculture. The study is conducted to find out existing management and problems regarding pesticide management in Cambodia, specifically in the Siem Reap province. The awareness of people associated with quantity and quality of pesticide application as well as their effect regarding human health, living thing and the envirorunent in the study area will be explored. The study found out that the only solution for farmers to protect their crops from pests is to use pesticides, and most of pesticides used there are classified in class 1 a as extremely hazardous and 1 b as highly extremely hazardous according to the WHO recommended classification. These products are DDT, Folidol, Monocrotohpos, Mevinphos, Methamidophos that have been banned and restricted, and no longer used in the region and some parts of the world, but still popularly used in Siem Reap. The way they were using is to mix many kinds of pesticides together up to four types. Several problems and constraints were found in managing due to lack of laws and the existing sub-decree is not well enforced. Knowledge about pesticides was not well promoted to people or users. A set of recommendations has been given to improve the conditions of the pesticide management and use in the Cambodia in general and in the study area in particular at present and in the future.
