PRODUÇÃO DE SEMENTE DE SOJA: SEMENTES VENEZA

Abstract

The history of global agriculture has undergone several phases, including organized agriculture during the Neolithic period that served nobles and clerics with slave workers. Over time, a differentiation between farmers and slaves emerged, leading to the formation of agricultural units. In the 20th century, family farming evolved globally towards sustainability. In Brazil, the lack of agricultural qualification and the absence of knowledge about soil conservation impacted agronomic education. Mandatory internships are now crucial in education, as per the curriculum of the Instituto Federal Goiano. The history of soybeans starts in ancient China, evolving into modern cultivation and finding its place in Brazil through agricultural expansion towards the Cerrado. Seeds, with their essential genetic value, are fundamental in agriculture. This paper discusses an internship that took place at Sementes Veneza and covered activities like stand assessment, pest and disease monitoring, pre-harvest sampling, and post-harvest damage evaluation.
