Resumen
This article reviews the social studies on pesticides in Yucatan. From reviewing the literature on the subject, three moments in Yucatan were identified in which the State has promoted the use of pesticides: the “Plan Chaac”, which promoted citrus growing in the south of the state in the1960s; the “Programa de Reordenación Henequenera y Desarrollo Integral de Yucatan”, which sought to diversify the state’s agricultural activities; and the introduction of monocultures such as genetically modified soybeans in the 21st century. Five contributions of social studies on pesticides in Yucatan are identified: 1) the regis- tration of pesticides used in the field, including highly hazardous pesticides prohibited in other countries; 2) management practices of producers, including protection measures and disposal of pesticide containers; 3) the perception of risk regarding the damage caused by pesticides; 4) the effects of pesticides and 5) the role of government policies and programs. From these five contributions it is possible to appreciate the colonial and unequal character of the relations between the North and the global South.
