The objective was to evaluate the effect of agrochemicals (pesticides and nutrients) used in the rice crop on the benthic macroinvertebrate community and the water quality in the lower Piura River basin and in the San Pedro de Vice mangroves (MSPV). In addition, farmers were interviewed to evaluate what agrochemicals and how they applied to the crop. Samples of macroinvertebrates (artificial substrate method) and water for analysis of nutrients, chemical and pesticides in three main points (water inlet) P1, P2 (main drain) and P3 (channel which empties into the MSPV) and in three of rice plots were taken. 102 random semi-structured interviews were carried out to farmers who at that time were working in rice crop. The results suggested that macroinvertebrate communities have changed along the irrigation system and among the three plots of rice. The point P1 presented a total richness of macroinvertebrates (32) greater than the point P2 (31) and P3 (15). The water quality index BMWP-Col was higher in the Control (81) than the drain (59) and the channel that goes to the mangrove (32), showing an acceptable, doubted and critical water quality respectively. The evaluated individual plots of rice presented differences of richness, diversity, and abundance among themselves, but always with values lower than in the main points. 8 pesticides were detected in the water analysis, 7 of which are highly dangerous and one (chlorobenzilate) is prohibited for the Peru since 1999. Two pesticides (Carbosulfan and Ethoprophos) were detected in the MSPV with concentrations above the permissible maximum limit. The majority of farmers do not use protective measures to apply pesticides and containers are not arranged properly.
