PROJETOS DE IRRIGAÇÃO E CAPACITAÇÃO EM MANEJO DE ÁGUA PARA PRODUTORES DE HORTALIÇAS EM URUTAÍ - GOIÁS

Abstract

Irrigation has brought several advances with regard to vegetable production. Because they require very specific conditions and climate to be cultivated, with water deficit being the factor that most influences their production, irrigation seeks to efficiently and economically use water and financial resources, and increase the production and availability of these resources. products when the climate is not favorable for cultivation. This work presents the presentation of the extension project (Notice 08/2022), which was proposed with the aim of contributing and assisting the institution's external agricultural community, with projects and training in the area of irrigation, in particular, focused on vegetables. The proposal consists of carrying out visits to properties, with studies of the areas to be irrigated later and the vegetables grown by these producers, in order to offer training, monitoring, preparation and free irrigation installation. Proposing thus, greater learning and practice for students involved in the project, improvement in production, better use of water and financial resources and also training of producers in the form of free technical assistance in the area of irrigation, thus strengthening the relationship between the institution and the external community. Graphic arts were created to publicize the project, during the 1st Agricultural Engineering Week at the Instituto Federal Goiano - Campus Urutaí, seeking engagement with the community, participation in extension events and sought more partnerships for the campus, generating improvements to production of vegetables.
