Evaluated Question	Crossover	Chi-Square	Analysis
P-1 - I am always informed there is a requirement to return the empty packages of agricultural pesticides.	How often I return packages.	0.006	There is consistency in the responses because for the 16 who fully agreed about having known about the requirement to return empty packages, at least 11 said that they return them and of the 13 who disagreed, six responded that they do not return them and seven vary in their return timing, showing uncertainty in return.
P-4 - I have been informed about the need to prepare the packages for correct disposal.	How often I return packages.	0.003	There is also some consistency here because for the 35 who agreed and/or fully agreed about having information about the need to prepare the packages for correct disposal, 22 said they return them even if their timing in doing so varies. Of those who disagreed or were indifferent, the majority said they do not return the packages.
P-6 - During purchase, the retailer gives instructions for washing procedures, packaging, storage, transportation and return of the packages.	How often I return packages.	0.018	There is consistency in the responses as 11 of those who agreed or fully agreed about receiving instructions for washing procedures, packaging, storage, transportation and return of the packages, nine said they return them, and of the 30 who disagreed or fully disagreed, 18 said they do not return them, and seven said their return timing varies.
P-8 - I always return packages to the address indicated on the purchase invoice.	How often I return packages.	0.006	The nine who agreed or fully agreed when asked always return packages to the address indicated on the purchase invoice, all said they return packages even if their timing varies, and of the 26 who disagreed or fully disagreed, 20 strongly stated they do not return them.

Evaluated Question	Crossover	Chi-Square	Analysis
P-10 - I always pay the costs to transport packages to the collector station.	How often I return packages.	0.000	There is accentuated consistency in the responses, as of the seven who agreed or fully agreed about paying the costs to transport packages to the Collector Station, all said they return them; and of the 34 who disagreed or fully disagreed, 16 said they do not return packages, and 11 said their return timing varies.
P-10 - I always pay the costs to transport packages to the collector station.	Cultivation group.	0.018	There is a balance in the producer's distribution among types of cultivation, with 18, 16 and 14, respectively, in temporary culture, horticulture and permanent culture. Additionally, of the 30 who fully disagreed about paying the costs to transport packages to the Collector Station, 8, 12 and 10, respectively, are in temporary culture, horticulture and permanent culture.
P-10 - I always pay the costs to transport packages to the collector station.	Segmentation of the area by IBGE.	0.032	There is a certain proportionality among the responses regarding paying the costs to transport packages to the Collector Station and the size of the harvested area, as of the 30 who fully disagreed, 23 cultivate areas smaller than five hectares, which suggests that, for them, the cost of empty package transportation is high, so they tend, when they return packages, to use favors from other large-sized producers, as noted in the responses when the data collection was performed.
P-12 - I always return the empty packages of agricultural pesticides to the retailers where I purchased them.	How often I return packages.	0.021	There is consistency in the responses, as 27 of those who responded that they disagreed or fully disagreed about returning packages to the retailers, 17 responded they do not return them and the other eight that their timing of return varies. Of the four who responded that they completely agreed about returning packages, all said that they return packages between one and two years from the date of purchase.
P-13 - I keep archived for inspection purposes the purchase invoices and the return receipts for empty packages.	How often I return packages.	0.016	Of 25 who disagreed or fully disagreed about keeping, for purposes of inspection, the purchase invoices and the package return receipts, 15 said they do not return packages and eight said that their timing of return varies. However, of 17 who agreed or fully agreed about keeping the invoices and return receipts, 11 said they return them even if their timing in doing so varies.

Evaluated Question	Crossover	Chi-Square	Analysis
P-14 - When I make a new purchase of agricultural pesticide, I am charged by the retailer for the empty packages from the last purchase.	How often I return packages.	0.043	Of 42 who fully disagreed about being charged by the retailer for empty packages from the last purchase, 21 said that they do not return packages and 12 that their timing of return varies. Of five who agreed or fully agreed about being charged by the retailer, four said that they return packages.
P-16 - I am aware of the penalties applied for inadequate disposal of empty packages.	How often I return packages.	0.012	Of 30 respondents who agreed or fully agreed about knowing the penalties for the inadequate disposal of empty packages, 11 do not return them, and 12 said that their timing of return varies. In contrast, of 14 who disagreed or fully disagreed about knowing the penalties, seven do not return packages.
P-16 - I am aware of the penalties applied for inadequate disposal of the empty packages.	Segmentation of the area by IBGE.	0.043	There is a certain balance between the responses regarding knowing the penalties for inadequate disposal of empty packages and the size of the harvested area, as of the 30 who agreed or fully agreed, 19 cultivate areas smaller than five hectares. Of the 14 who disagreed or fully disagreed, 10 also cultivate areas smaller than five hectares. This leads us to consider that for them (the small producers), the responsibility is more keenly felt.

How often do I return packages?

More than once per year	12	25	25	25
Once every 1-2 years	2	4.2	4.2	29.2
Varies	12	25	25	54.2
Do not return	22	45.8	45.8	100
