The regulatory framework on agrochemicals is heterogeneous throughout Argentina and the controls regarding the use and application of these compounds are deficient. In the last few years, there has been a growing conflict over the use of pesticides and their impacts, mainly in urban-rural interface areas with proximity between agricultural and residential land uses. This study addresses the available cabinet tools that could be used to improve the environmental management of pesticides from municipalities; generating technical information to dialogue with provincial or national authorities. In cabinet-work, the previously generated data in the field or laboratory is collected, systematized and analyzed. The tools associated with this modality attempt to integrate and generate useful information for decision-making. The presented work consists of the study and application of 11 tools that evaluate the consequences of pesticide use, based on the available information, obtaining results with different environmental relevance. For the analysis, they were grouped in Block I, tools to evaluate the potential of leaching; Block II, a set of indices to obtain a categorization of dangerousness or environmental impact; Block III, tools for the prediction of ecological effects. The tools were classified according to various pre-established criteria, such as the information they provide, the necessary technical knowledge of the user, the computer requirements, the entity responsible for their development, the possibility of free access, the complexity of the necessary input data, and whether or not they have an instructional manual; which allowed to obtain comparison matrices for each block. The tools were applied to a particular case of study for a total of 15 pesticides. The obtained results consist of an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each tool and a diagram for their application taking into account the information available to the user with the purpose of organize and facilitate the development of ecological impact and risk assessments to local authorities. By providing technical elements, the presented methodology could allow strengthening locally the decision-making on pesticides environmental management and the articulation with higher jurisdictions.
