Proposta de alternativas menos tóxicas para ingredientes ativos de agrotóxicos no mercado brasileiro

Abstract

This study has identifi ed the pesticide active ingredients (AI) registered in Brazil suggesting alternatives to substitute those with higher toxicity/environmental impact in cultures of rice, sugarcane, coffee, citrus, maize, bean, soybean and pastures. Substitution was proposed for 2,4-D, azocyclotin, carbofuran, endossulfan, fenamifos and terbufos. It is expected that this study may contribute as a reference on the improvement of agrienvironmental policy design able to reduce environmental risks inherent to the use of these substances.
