Conteúdo: 	Favorable by a climate that allows production all year-round, Brazilian agriculture requeres a considerable effort in pest control. With one of the largest areas of arable land and with only about 6% (ca. 47 million hectares) of the country's area being used for crop production, Brazil is probably the largest potential market for pesticides. In 1981, 143 thousand tons (ca. 833 US$ million) of commercial pesticides where used, of which, 50,6% was represented by insecticides, 30,9% by herbicides and 18.5% by fungicides. In 1975 the National Agricultural Pesticide Plan (PNDA) was established for stimulating the national production of pesticides. In 1974, 77.3% of all pesticides were imported byt in 1981, important volume fell to 35%. During the last decade, theuse of pesticides increased at an average rate of 9%/year. As a result, it boosted the agricultural production to a record high but it also brought about a series of negative effects: higher production cost; environmental pollution; and animal and human poisoning were multiplied many fold. Public and government awareness of the harmful effects of pesticides has resulted in new laws regulating the registration and use o pesticides. Research on pest management and biological control of insects has received high priority and is routinely used in cotton, soybean, sugarcane and wheat farms. The recently created National Pesticide Research Center, focusing on the synthesis, efficiency, toxicological, environmental and economical aspects of pesticides will bring ...
