This topic was chosen because<br />

agronomy is the main source of<br />

economy in Coatepec Harinas and<br />

Villa Guerrero, so you can see the<br />

enormous use of agrochemicals,<br />

that´s why we wonder if it affects,<br />

if it does, in which way and at what<br />

level, based on the researching´s<br />

and the previous points, what we did<br />

was to see the possible solutions to<br />

this problem we ask ourselves:<br />

Agronomy is our main source of<br />

income or one of the reasons of our<br />

extinction? Since it is impressive the<br />

amount of agrochemicals used and<br />

their misuse too.<br />

It is important to know about<br />

everything and most important when<br />

it´s harmful to our towns in these two<br />

ways, the first is to the environment<br />

and the second is to people´s health.<br />

Who are in permanent contact with<br />

agrochemicals like workers and their<br />

families or homes near greenhouses.<br />

And for example something harmful<br />

that is seen in the environment, in the<br />

long term is the fertility of soils.<br />

The current world depends without<br />

exception on chemical products<br />

either to increase food production,<br />

protect health and facilitate daily life.<br />

Many of these chemicals are<br />

dangerous and it is necessary to<br />

evaluate the direct or indirect<br />

health risks, when using, storing<br />

them or evacuating them. Its<br />

discharge to the environment<br />

intentionally or not can cause<br />

serious consequences.<br />

When large quantities of these<br />

chemicals that did not exist in nature<br />

are generated and handled, great<br />

problems arise, especially when there<br />

are not physical and biological<br />

processes that can degrade them into<br />

harmless forms.<br />

The lack of controls facilitates the<br />

appearance of pests, but there are<br />

cases in which it can be attributed to<br />

insecticides the responsibility that<br />

non-dangerous species have become<br />

real nightmares for the peasants. On<br />

the other hand, the predatory species<br />

that exert a control on the plagues, as<br />

they are more specialized usually have<br />

a lower renovation rate. And pests,<br />

free from biological control and<br />

increasingly resistant to insecticides,<br />

become more and more dangerous.<br />

The use of herbicides (to combat<br />

weeds) has become widespread with<br />

remarkable speed. These products<br />

are, perhaps, more dangerous than<br />

insecticides, especially herbicides that<br />

act by blocking photosynthesis. Also<br />

herbicides affect aquatic ecosystems:<br />

the structure of phytoplankton<br />

communities is modified by the<br />

selection imposed by such<br />

substances
