The aim of this paper is to determine whether training level affects the safe use of pesticidesamongst pesticide applicators of Galician greenhouse farms (Spain). The relationshipbetween pesticide applicator training and safe use of pesticides was statisticallyanalyzed using non-parametric tests. Results did not reveal any relationship betweenthe training level of pesticide applicators and the implementation of good practicesin pesticide use. This paper questions current training systems for pesticide applicationand points to the need for the implementation of methods that assess and monitorthe results and added value of training to pesticide applicators’ practices.
