Background & Objective: The purpose of this study was to identifying the different types of vegetable growers' values in Kermanshah and determining those effect on the behavior of safety vegetable production. Materials & Methods: A researcher-made questionnaire in three sections was the main tool of this study which its reliability and validity were confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and Content Validity Ratio (CVR), respectively. The One-Way Anova analysis, Correlation statistic, and regression analysis were used to achieve to the research's aims. Data were analyzed using Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Excel 2013 software. Results: The results showed that vegetable growers can be classified into three groups in terms of safety vegetable production behavior: ecological, moderate and conventional. There was a statistically significant difference between their values types at the level of 0. 01% error. There was a significant relationship between their different types of values and their safety vegetable production behavior, expected of economic values. Regression output identified that tree types of values including of theoretical, social, and religious in total predicted 26. 1% of variances of vegetable growers’ behavior to product safety vegetable. Conclusion: Apart from the governmental organization reflections to deal with unsafety vegetable production in agricultural sector, vegetable growers’ values play a fundamental role in safety vegetables production. Therefore, considering them in planning processes in relation to agriculture sector can significantly contribute to the safety products and consequently the community health.

Background and Purpose: vegetables are one of the most important agents in transmission of parasitic infections to human, and determining their infectious rate ahs been the center of attention. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine and compare the parasitic and non-parasitic infections of vegetables before and after washing, disinfecting and packaging processes in the vegetable processing farms. Methods and Materials: This cross-sectional descriptive study involved 345 samples of different types of vegetables from 30 farms before washing process as well as 200 samples after the washing, disinfecting and packaging processes between September and November 2008. The samples were studied through timed sedimentary and then through centrifuged condensation methods. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using chi-square. Results: The results showed that 185 samples out of 345 (53.62%) from farms were infected by parasitic and non-parasitic agents. The infection to ova of Ascaris sp (2.32%), Taenia spp (1.74%) and Trichostrongylus sp (0.58%) had the highest rate, respectively. Moreover, results showed that all of 200 samples from vegetable processing farm had no infection. Statistical analyses showed significant differences between the infection in samples from farms and those from vegetable processing farm. Conclusion: The results showed the absence of infections in studied vegetables after washing, disinfecting and packaging processes in the vegetable processing farms, and confirmed the role of processing in the elimination of infections.
