The Brazilian citriculture presents hegemony in the production and export of orange juice. The state of São Paulo is the largest national producer, accounting for 74% of the national production of this fruit. The State of Pará is responsible for 1.02% of the production of Orange in Brazil, of that amount the municipality of Captain Poço is responsible for 57% of the total produced. The objective of this research was to analyze the profile of different producers in compliance with the pesticide legislation. For the development of the work, a survey was carried out based on the Law of Agrochemicals—Law No. 7,802 of July 11, 1989 and the Law of Packaging—Law No. 9,974 of June 6, 2000, in the community of Cubiteua belonging to the municipality of Captain Poço/PA. The producers interviewed were chosen based on planted area and these were typified according to the amount of citrus planted. The percentage of respondents who know Federal Law 7,802/89, rectified by Law 9,974/00 and regulated by Decree No. 4,074/02, is equal to 8%. Both laws are not known to most producers, especially those with the smallest planted area, and as a consequence, they are not being met, leading to environmental, social, economic and human health problems.
Brazil is one of the largest producers of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) in the world. The State of Pará is responsible for 1.02% of the production of Orange in Brazil. Of this amount, the municipality of Capitão Poço is responsible for 57% of the total produced by the State. In view of this, it is evident that the model of current economic development imposes transformations in the way of life that entail serious problems of health to the worker, for example, the exposure of the workers to the pesticides in the field. With this, it is noticed that it is important to deal with the legislation of Agrochemicals because this is still little known by most citricultures in the municipality of Capitão Poço, leading them to non-compliance with the law. From this, the objective of the research was to observe the potentials and limitations regarding the distribution chain, acquisition and use of agrochemicals and knowledge of the laws in the citriculture Paraense. For the development of the work, questionnaires were applied (based on the Agrochemicals Law - Law No. 7,802 of July 11, 1989, and the Law of Packaging - Law No. 9.974 of June 6, 2000) in the community of Nova Colônia. It is concluded that the laws, besides not being known and consequently not fulfilled, make it difficult to supervise the specialized professionals, who, in turn, are few for the region. Another obstacle to compliance with legislation is to make the producer update certain concepts and teachings, which are no longer accepted.
A agricultura é uma das principais atividades econômicas no estado do Pará e serve como agente propulsor do desenvolvimento comercial e dos serviços e, embora sua maior intensidade agrícola esteja na região nordeste, diversos fatores ocorrem limitando o desenvolvimento dos cultivos, podendo-se destacar o ataque de fitopatógenos. Esses agentes fitopatológicos vêm causando grandes prejuízos nas principais culturas do Nordeste Paraense como no município de Capitão Poço-PA. Este município tem base econômica fundada na agricultura e o citros e a pimenta-do-reino como principais produtos agrícolas considerados propulsores de fonte de renda para o agricultor da região, e que são extremamente afetados por patógenos que prejudicam a sua produção. Com isso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um levantamento fitossanitário das comunidades rurais no município de Capitão Poço-PA, a fim de orientar os produtores com possíveis alternativas para combater os problemas fitossanitários.
