This study aimed to identify the pesticides most used by rural workers in the municipality of Crisópolis/BA. This is a descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional, field study with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 40 rural workers who use pesticides in crops and pastures and all legal traders of pesticide products in the referred city. The study was carried out between January and June 2015. It was found that 45.5% of the workers use the dipilic insecticide and 25.0% the Tordon herbicide. It was noticeable that in the city there are only 3 legal trade in pesticide products, which only sell products considered to be over-the-counter. Since 100.0% of the traders state that the annual sales estimates are considered average, the best selling product would be the antiphidic Dipil (green grain) corresponding to 30.0%, and 0.0% of the trade issues agronomic revenue. Upon analysis of the study, it is concluded that the said population is vulnerable as to the degree of toxicity of the agrochemical products used and that it intensifies, as the sales would be high and these products, of restricted sale, are obtained in a illegal by the clandestine network, since the establishments of the local city do not have the agronomic prescription.
