Abstract

While pesticides have generated gains in food production, they are also linked to serious environmental degradation and human health conditions. Currently in Mexico the use of pesticides has reached 60,000 Ton annually. This research work wont know the impact and interaction of intensive agriculture on the quality of groundwater in the valley of Autlán.   In the first phase of this study, the presence of organochlorine pesticides were found in 10 samples (wells) by chromatography, finding that points higher than NOM-SSA1-1994 levels, so it is concluded that their presence does not present a risk . The second phase involves conducting surveys to producers of the valley where we expected recognize as presented the phenomenon associated with the use and handling of pesticides from the decade of the sixties, which allowed us to know that most local farmers are using pesticides to control pests and diseases, but farmers with more education have to use less aggressive monitoring tools for the environment and human health as biological control, cultural practices fully comply with the NOM-081- FITO-2001, in addition to greater Surface
