- Abstract
The article presents a study on the environmental risks of using pesticides in several cropping systems in Argentina, using fuzzy expert indicator. Based on results, active ingredients such as atrazine and acetochlor applied in annual and perennial crops have the highest risks of environmental contamination. In conclusion, fuzzy logic provides simple risk management to pesticide properties and the need to replace its active ingredients in order to protect water and air from contamination.
