Review Article: Strategical analysis of environmental management in relation to the effects of agricultural pesticides on water and aquaculture: A case study on Butachlor

The principled use of agricultural pesticides and prevention of their negative consequences requires environmental management with a comprehensive and long-term approach. This article is done with the aim of strategic analysis of the environmental management of the effects of agricultural poisons with an emphasis on Butachlor poison. The current research is a non-experimental (descriptive) research in terms of its practical-developmental goal and data collection method, which was conducted in a survey method. The statistical population included persons who are in charges in this approach. Sampling was done by purposeful method and theoretical saturation was achieved with ۸ people. The effects of agricultural pesticides were identified using semi-structured expert interviews of internal and external factors of the environmental management model with qualitative thematic analysis. Then the analysis of factors and presentation of suitable scenarios was done using SWOT analysis and Quantitative Strategic Assessment Matrix (QSPM). MaxQDA software was used to perform thematic analysis, and SWOT analysis calculations were performed in Excel software. Based on the evaluation matrix of internal and external factors, the appropriate strategy for environmental management of agricultural toxic effects should minimize environmental pressures and threats by improving and strengthening internal weaknesses. Based on the quantitative strategic planning matrix analysis, the best scenario is the formulation of laws and regulations about the amount of poison consumption.
