Resumen
La FAO resalta la importancia de practicar la agricultura sostenible. Para obtener alimentos
con rendimientos aceptables y de calidad se usan insumos agrícolas, como los plaguicidas.
El buen manejo de estos productos se sustenta en las orientaciones de la FAO, OMS y en
convenios internacionales, para proteger a la población y al ambiente de sus efectos dañinos.
En la pequeña agricultura se ha observado el uso inadecuado de estos insumos, siendo
necesario seguir las buenas prácticas agrícolas y conocer a los agricultores que las adoptan.
En Perú, SENASA ha establecido ocho programas postregistro de plaguicidas, buscando
desarrollar una agricultura sostenible. De estos, tres se basan en capacitaciones sobre las
buenas prácticas. Esta investigación estudia la incorporación de las buenas prácticas
transmitidas a través de estos tres programas en pequeños agricultores de Macas, valle del
Chillón. Se propone que el proceso de adopción de estas prácticas está relacionado con
algunas características socioeconómicas y del predio de los agricultores, encontrándose que
algunas de ellas influyen en la frecuencia de seguimiento de las prácticas. Las que menos
siguen y las más difíciles de realizar son algunas recomendaciones dadas en las etiquetas
de los pesticidas y el manejo de los envases vacíos. Algunas razones son: la falta de recursos,
dificultad para ejecutar las prácticas y asesorías inadecuadas o falta de ellas. Para obtener
esta información se realizaron encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Finalmente, se
presentan reflexiones, resaltando que, para conseguir una buena producción agrícola de
forma sostenible, es necesario el manejo integrado de los cultivos e incluye el uso correcto
de los pesticidas.
FAO highlights the importance of practicing sustainable agriculture. To obtain food with acceptable and quality yields, agricultural inputs, such as pesticides, are used. Good management of these products is based on the guidelines of the FAO, WHO and international conventions, to protect the population and the environment from their harmful effects. In small agriculture, the inappropriate use of these inputs has been observed, making it necessary to follow good agricultural practices and know the farmers who adopt them. In Peru, SENASA has established eight post-registration programs for pesticides, seeking to develop sustainable agriculture. Of these, three are based on training on good practices. This research studies the incorporation of good practices transmitted through these three programs in small farmers in Macas, Chillón Valley. It is proposed that the adoption process of these practices is related to some farmers’ socioeconomic and land characteristics, finding that some of them influence the frequency of the practice’s fulfilment. The least followed and the most difficult to perform are some recommendations given on pesticide labels and the handling of empty containers. Some reasons are lack of resources, difficulty in executing practices and inadequate or lack of advice. To obtain this information, surveys and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Finally, reflections are presented, highlighting that, to achieve good agricultural production in a sustainable manner, integrated crop management is necessary and includes the correct use of pesticides.
