Este trabajo se presenta una propuesta de periodización histórica del uso de plaguicidas y otros agroquímicos en el valle de Mexicali, tomando en cuenta la evolución del desarrollo agrícola en la región y su contexto. El uso de una diversidad de productos químicos en la agricultura ha sido resultado de los modelos tecnológicos industriales que se han adoptado desde principios de siglo, especialmente de las sugerencias de la “revolución verde”. Se resalta la importancia que están teniendo las hortalizas como consumidoras de plaguicidas. También se observa que a pesar de que por varias décadas se han usado agroquímicos en la agricultura del valle mexicalense, son escasas las investigaciones sobre su impacto en la salud pública y en el medio ambiente. Lo que se conoce por estudios realizados en zonas agrícolas que utilizan estos productos es preocupante, por lo que se propone la necesidad de realizar estudios que tiendan a profundizar en esa problemática. 2005-07-01 2021-06-03T03:34:49Z 2021-06-03T03:34:49Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Qualitative historical periodization Cualitativo, periodización histórica https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/216 10.21670/ref.2005.12.a05 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6565 spa https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/216/380 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/216/765 Derechos de autor 2014 Estudios Fronterizos Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades application/pdf text/html Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Estudios Fronterizos Revista; Vol. 6 No. 12 (2005); 119-153 Estudios Fronterizos; Vol. 6 Núm. 12 (2005); 119-153 2395-9134 0187-6961 |
