RESUMO

The present work seeks to evaluate the use of pesticides in the island of Maranhão. They were taken as study areas, the agricultural poles of the island. Field visits and interviews were made with farmers in order to characterize the profile of these, to know the products cultivated in those poles, the problems that affect their cultures and the means used for the combat to the curses in the plantations. For the combat to the curses of their plantations, the pesticides are used and acquired without the use of the agronomic income and as consequence, the use of these substances is made in a disordered way and without control and in that way, they can cart contaminations in multiple levels. The results can contribute to the farmers understanding as for the use of these substances, proposing like these alternatives for reduction of the use of these substances.
