Abstract

Soybean plays a significant role in Brazilian agriculture, accounting for a large portion of grain production and making a substantial contribution to the national GDP. The city of Rio Verde - GO stands out as a crucial agricultural hub, where soybean cultivation plays a fundamental role in the local economy. In this context, internships in agricultural sector companies, such as Sementes Veneza, offer valuable opportunities for students of Agricultural Sciences to gain practical experience and knowledge about seed production and analysis. This report aims to present the activities carried out by the author of this Bachelor's Thesis during the internship at Sementes Veneza, located in Rio Verde and Montividiu, in the state of Goiás. During the internship, the student had the opportunity to immerse herself in the work environment and participate in various activities related to the agricultural sector, from plant selection and improvement to proper processing and storage. Therefore, the analysis and classification of seeds are of utmost importance to ensure the quality and success of agricultural crops, as certified seeds are the most crucial input in farming. After all, they carry the entire productive potential of the plant, along with investments in genetic improvement and biotechnology – in other words, they are a vital technology. The internship provided valuable experiences and learning, contributing to the professional development of the student. Furthermore, the partnership between agricultural sector companies and universities is essential to promote the exchange of knowledge, innovation, and the advancement of the agricultural sector as a whole.
