This study assessed factors that affect awareness of health implications of agrochemical use and its effects on maize production in Ejura-Sekyedumase Municipality of Ashanti Region, Ghana.
One hundred and fifty-four (154) maize farmers were randomly sampled from the municipality.
The study used awareness indicators to estimate an index representing farmers’ awareness levels of health implications of agrochemical use.
An ordered logit compliment with multivariate linear regression model was used to identify the drivers of farmers’ awareness level of health implications of agrochemical use.
Also, a multivariate linear regression model was used to analyze the effects of health implications of agrochemical use on maize output.
On average, the respondents have the moderate awareness level of health implications of agrochemical use (0.578).
The awareness level was significantly explained by education, the number of children in school, ownership of TV/radio, experience in agrochemicals use, and farm size.
The multivariate linear regression results showed that awareness levels of health implications of agrochemical use increase maize output.
It is therefore recommended that interventions aimed at increasing farmers’ awareness levels of health implications of agrochemicals use should focus on educating farmers through interactive radio discussion and training sessions on the field and incorporate safety use of agrochemical in our educational curriculum.
