Abstract

Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) is used to measure and access the risk of pesticide. Research was conducted in three communes Phu Hoa, Phu Thuan, and Vinh Khanh, Thoai Son district, An Giang province. The surveying and analyzing results indicated that EIQs have been at high level which was possible to affect on human health and environment. Pesticide kinds, amounts and times, as well as farmer’s habit induced the EIQ resulting in high risk in agricultural production activities. Relying to EIQ for pesticide, we can access the environmental problem and risk levels derived from pesticide. As a result, there are timely warnings sent to farmers who quickly reduce and control pesticide utilization for sustainable development in agriculture.
