PRÁTICAS DE PESQUISA EM FITOPATOLOGIA NA ESTAÇÃO EXPERIMENTAL DO GAPES EM RIO VERDE, GOIÁS

Abstract

Throughout an individual's academic training, there is a need for them to become involved in programs and/or projects that complement the training offered in the classroom. This training is called extracurricular or complementary training. In this regard, companies such as the Grupo Associado de Pesquisa do Sudoeste Goiano (GAPES) provide rich opportunities in order to increase unique experiences and knowledge for the training of excellent professionals. Therefore, during the period from December 2022 to December 2022, the mandatory internship with the company GAPES was developed. During the internship, it was possible to follow several experimental protocols regarding the management of soybean plant diseases, above all, the positioning and performance of a variety of products. For the execution of these protocols, several activities were carried out, such as application of pesticides with backpack sprayer, flagging, staking, product dosing, preparation of syrup, manual planting, evaluation of diseases and other agronomic characteristics, statistical analysis of the data obtained and presentation of results. results. In view of this, the internship in the field of plant pathology was significant for my academic training in Agronomy, since learning and practical experience in the field both about the protection of plants against diseases, as well as about direct contact with professionals from other areas of agriculture and rural producers, was unique. Therefore, this challenge contributed to my personal, professional and academic growth.
