Abstract
This research is quantitative. Based on a questionnaire to study the behavior of farmers in ASEAN countries to prevent the hazards of agricultural chemicals. The sample used is farmers in ASEAN countries with 400 people. A total of 6 questionnaires were used, all of which passed quality checks with confirmatory factor analysis. The results support all hypotheses. The main results of the analysis were as follows: 1) The prediction coefficient of agricultural chemical hazard prevention behavior was R<sup>2</sup> = 0.82 The most influential results from knowledge of chemical use to agricultural chemical hazard prevention behavior of farmers were found to be as follows: ᵦ = 0.73 (p<.01) 2) The behavior of preventing the hazard of agricultural chemicals and the conformity of the reference group in the use of chemicals in pairs with the highest correlation coefficient was equal to 0.79 (p<.01) The variables that should be prepared as policy proposals are knowledge of the use of chemicals. Chemical Attitude Adaptability to the reference group in the use of chemicals (respectively).
