【 摘 要 】

It is considered that Brazil is currently in the lead of the world pesticide use. Given the lack of information about the types and amounts of pesticides marketed in this country and how they are applied in the crops, in this work was structured a database from data of agronomic prescription forms issued in an agricultural region of Santa Catarina State. The qualitative analysis of the agronomic prescriptions showed that these documents do not inform the farmers about the proper and safe use of pesticides. In quantitative terms, it was found that the herbicides were the most prescribed pesticides and that about one-third of total was highly toxic products. A very small number of legally skilled professionals were responsible for signing the documents. This indicates that the majority of the agronomic prescriptions analyzed in this study were not based on site phytosanitary diagnostic.
