Abstract

O agronegócio brasileiro é o setor que se destaca por contribuir de forma significativa no produto interno bruto (PIB) do País. Ao longo dos anos, a produção primária brasileira tem demonstrado elevada capacidade competitiva em diversos setores, destacando-se a produção das commodities agrícolas. No entanto, o uso excessivo de agrotóxicos para proteção de plantas, não somente é antieconômico, como também pode provocar consequências adversas à saúde humana, ao ambiente e a agricultura. Assim, o nível de conhecimento dos operadores de máquinas agrícolas destinadas à realização do tratamento fitossanitário das culturas, bem como, dos trabalhadores envolvidos de forma direta ou indireta neste processo é, de fundamental importância na busca pela redução dos riscos ambientais e pessoais, garantindo desta forma, qualidade nas atividades de pulverização. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer o nível de conhecimento dos operadores no que se refere à segurança operacional, bem como, ao uso e manejo de agrotóxicos. Para tanto, utilizaram-se informações adquiridas por meio de um questionário aplicado a 56 operadores de pulverizadores agrícolas em duas regiões, Fronteira Oeste e Central do Estado do rio Grande do Sul. Ao analisar os resultados obtidos, pode-se concluir que o nível de conhecimento dos operadores é considerado inseguro, principalmente no que diz respeito à segurança operacional e ao manejo dos agrotóxicos. A capacitação dos operadores se faz necessária quanto a adoção da metodologia adequada para a calibração dos pulverizadores, portanto, estas atividades técnicas de treinamento devem ser realizadas com maior frequência.

In this sense, taking into consideration the data presented by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) [5] that saids that the number of rural workers represents nearly 15.10 thousands of people developing their activities in nearly 5.07 thousands of rural properties, it worths to point out that the theme about the worker's level of knowledge in relation to the pesticide spraying activities deserves to be widely discussed and spread

Introduction

Introduction noise, dust and pesticide contaminationThe theme related to theThe efficiency of the control under a biological target relies pesticide contamination is important to be discussed because, according to Konradsen et al [4], it is one of the most serious on the proportion of the active ingredients applied on it as well as world health problems, mainly in terms of countries in stage of on the quality of distribution and the uniformity of application in development.terms of the target area. It is necessary to be done the suitable optimizing the control of weeds, insects and diseases According maintenance of those machines to keep both the quality of the to these authors, the embrance of these practices may contribute to the reduction of costs and the lower use of applications as well as the worker's and the environment security once, according to Martini et al [7], unregulated sprayers or pesticides in the cultivation areas, resulting in lower risks of under poor state of conservation may cause high rates of lost and contamination
