  1. Notes: bold coefficients denote a p-value below 0.05
  2. a The six dependent variables were ‘pesticide knowledge for label, use and alternatives’, ‘attitudes and beliefs towards the safe pesticide use’, ‘safe pesticide handling and practices’, ‘following the laws and recommendations in the shop setup and organization’, ‘toxicity of sold products’, ‘advice given during mystery shopping’
  3. b Regression coefficients are abbreviated for estimate (Est), standard error (SE), odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value (p)
  4. c CCSP: Certification of competency on safe handling of pesticide
  5. d Datasets used for the regression were either from the interview of agro-input dealers (KAP) or from the mystery shopping (MYS)
  6. e r2 is not available (NA) for the three binomial regressions
