The use of triazole fungicides has been steadily increasing since the 1980s relative to other fungicides available worldwide. There are few studies on triazole handling practices and their effects on farmers’ health. This study investigates farmers’ practices and health risks related to pesticide exposure. A survey of male agricultural workers (n = 76) was conducted in the Souss Massa region of Morocco. Results indicate that most triazole users lack education and agricultural training, relying on suppliers’ advice or recommendations from fellow farmers. Inappropriate practices were observed, such as disregarding pre-harvest intervals and recommended doses. Additionally, 79% of farmers experienced discomfort, including skin itching, eye irritation, and respiratory problems. Age, literacy, and farming experience influenced behaviours and contributed to environmental and health hazards. Urgent actions are needed to minimise human poisoning and environmental contamination
