The central objective of this work was to realize a survey and analysis about strengths and weaknesses of the main regulation for plant and forest health at a provincial level in Argentina, and regarding the existence of public agencies dedicated to inspection and control in said field. In this way it was analyzed, if the legal tools available are sufficient enough for all social actors involved in activity forestry, can defend their rights favourably. In the first place, we highlight the implementation of a comparative analysis of provincial jurisdictions of Argentina, except form the Autonomous city of Buenos Aires and the national level. In this context it was possible to conclude that the detection of overlapping agencies of control (many times within the same jurisdiction), and in some law cases where the stipulated deadline was not met for the dictation of a regulatory decree, which made it difficult to apply in practice. They glimpsed different levels of normative development in the jurisdictional provinces analyzed, linked with plant and forest health. Also the same ones are not uniform and vary notably according to the region of the country, and it is not always linked to the existence or not of forest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
