Abstract

To reduce losses and increase agricultural yields, farmers, in addition to fertilizers, use pesticides to achieve their objectives. With the absence of recognized commercial companies in the sale of pesticides, growers buy these products in the local market. Most of its farmers are not trained in the management and use of pesticides, so they are often the first to introduce them. To evaluate the management and utilization of its products, a survey of 50 producers indicates that more than 20 commercial specialities are registered, of which 15 names are known. The most the pesticides are emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and two are granules. This study has shown that 76% of farmers are combined chemical fertilizer and composts and 72% of them are used pesticides for the insects. Used one week by 68% growers, 41.18% of packaging and bottles are discarded in the environment after and 5.88% of containers are brought at home. Despite frequent contact with these toxic products with different symptoms, many producers are not consulted after their campaigns for a health check-up.
