Geotecnologias aplicadas na fiscalização de agrotóxicos

Abstract

Due to the vast territorial extension and favorable climate, Brazil is one of the largest grain producers in the world. The model of agriculture developed in the country is directly related to the application of inputs to avoid damages due to diseases or pests. Among these inputs are pesticides, whose inadequate management can cause damage to both human health and environmental balance. In this sense, the objective of this work was to generate thematic geospatial products to assist in the inspection of the use of pesticides by SEAPDR, responsible for the inspection of trade and use of pesticides at Rio Grande do Sul. In order to do so, we used data from inspected properties between the years 2015 and 2019 in the area covered by the 17th Supervision of SEAPDR, in order to verify the spatial distribution of the actions already carried out, as well as quantitative data of agricultural area and crop production of soybeans and wheat from the 2017 harvest to indicate possible regions where enforcement actions need more attention. The thematic geospatial products generated revealed great potential for the strategic planning of inspection actions, since they allowed it to be based on information that portrays the reality of the region.
