Penggunaan pestisida pada lahan pertanian dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku petani dalam penggunaan pestisida serta memprediksi berapa banyak asupan cabai, kubis, dan kentang yang dikonsumsi petani menimbulkan risiko gangguan kesehatan di Kecamatan Cikajang, Kabupaten Garut. Penelitian ini menggunakan disain cross sectional dengan pendekatan analisis risiko kesehatan lingkungan (ARKL). Sampel penelitian ini sebanyak 105 responden petani dan penyemprot tanaman menggunakan pestisida. Responden dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Berdasarkan hasil univariat, 93% berpengetahuan kurang baik, 68% bersikap baik, dan 63% berperilaku kurang baik. Berdasarkan hasil bivariat, bahwa faktor tingkat pengetahuan berhubungan signifikan dengan nilai risiko (RQ) gangguan kesehatan (p = 0,042; OR = 1,69). Hasil ini menunjukkan perlunya penyuluhan tentang penggunaan pestisida dan pengawasan aktivitas petani agar risiko gangguan kesehatan dapat dicegah.
