The objectives of the study were to determine the main components of the innovation system and the mechanisms that affect the use of pesticides among horticulturists in the ChancayHuaral valley, to characterize the use of agricultural pesticides, the risks of intoxication, to estimate the environmental impact generated by their use and to determine the social sustainability of horticulturists who use pesticides. The study was carried out due to the contamination of the vegetables according to the monitoring of contaminants in agricultural foods carried out annually by SENASA, the reports of poisoning by pesticides registered by the MINSA, and the lack of knowledge about the operation of a system of an innovation system for the use of pesticides. The snowball methodology was used to identify the components of the innovation system; for the environmental impact of pesticides, the EIQ (Environmental Impact Quotient) method was used; and for social sustainability, multicriteria analysis was applied. According to the results, the innovation system in the use of pesticides has low government participation and a high presence of the private sector linked to the commercialization of agricultural pesticides; Horticulturists are characterized by a lack of minimal knowledge of pesticide management, the excessive use of pesticides per crop season and in mixtures without appropriate protection measures, allowing family participation at the time of spraying, generating risks of intoxication among their members, among workers. , contaminating horticultural products and the environment where they are produced; they lack ecological awareness and do not receive training on the proper use of pesticides. High values of environmental impact were found due to the use of pesticides in the main vegetables of the valley; and a low social sustainability indicator.
