Data collection was performed through interviews and semi-structured questionnaires applied to an intentionally selected sample in addition to direct observation by the researcher whose job function resides in an agricultural store (retailer of pesticides, among others). From the collection and analysis of the obtained data, a lecture based on the school institution (Basic Education, High School) was held for presentation to the students of the obtained results.
